Yo Halloweenies!
It's Hilah with Hilah Cooking, and we are continuing on our series of Halloween-themed
recipes.
You might notice I have on a particular lovely outfit today.
I have been going through my old Halloween costumes, and this is one from a couple of
years ago.
Can you guess what I am?
I am the solar system.
Ding!
You are correct.
Okay, my planets are wrinkly, but so we did some snacks and stuff so now I am gonna do
a drink that I made up that's got rum and pomegranate liqueur and ginger ale and limes
and fresh ginger, and something fancy called pomegranate molasses and you'll see why I
gave it such a special name in a little bit, and the name is, The Bumbaclot.
So the first thing I need to do is squeeze some limes.
That one seems a little hard, and I kind of got a little crazy last night experimenting
with this drink and hopefully have enough rum left to actually do it for you today.
I found that I have some vodka and I am sure that will work just fine.
They are both clear, right?
Okay, or isopropyl alcohol.
That's fine too.
Okay.
That's probably good.
So the ratios are as follows: two parts of white rum.
I don't think spiced rum would be very good in here.
Although actually, you know what, fuck it, try it.
It's Halloween after all.
Okay, just gonna do that, and then this pomegranate liqueur which shouldn't be too hard to find.
I mean with all the people raving about pomegranates these days.
So two parts of, yeah, that's right, two parts of rum, one part of that, and then half a
part of limes.
So this is a really easy recipe to double.
Mmmmm.
And then I am gonna shake it, shake it, shake it!
Okay, yeah, that's right.
Okay, and then this is where the clot comes in, so this is, this might be a little tricky
to find, but it's Halloween so go to your nearby Middle Eastern store, and it's basically
like cooked down pomegranate juice.
It's not actually molasses, although it is called pomegranate molasses, but it's kind
of sweet and tart and really the reason I am putting it in there is because it kind
of looks like a big thing of clotted blood.
Okay, and then when you pour it in, just be a little bit slow so you don't disturb you
Bumbaclot too much.
Okay, all right, so I am leaving a little bit of headroom [laughs] head to put in just
a little splash of ginger ale, and then some freshly grated ginger and it just makes it
kind of spicy and I guess like validates the name a little bit more because I don't know.
I guess they use it in Jamaican food.
Okay, I am an idiot.
All right, let's try this thing.
It's gonna be good.
Holy shit!
No wonder I drank a whole bottle of rum last night.
All right, that's really good.
Try it out, and let me know how you like it.
Look at that, that's just gorgeous.
Wow!
It's like a bloody sunset.
Okay, catch you later, a couple of days, week or so.
I don't know whenever we get the next episode up.
