The Knickerbocker Special is a classic cocktail that combines the flavors of rum, lime juice, raspberry syrup, and orange curaçao. It's a refreshing and fruity drink that is perfect for a hot summer day or any time you want to indulge in a delicious cocktail. Here's how you can make your own Knickerbocker Special at home!
To make a Knickerbocker Special, you will need a few key ingredients. Start by gathering your favorite rum, preferably a white or light rum. You'll also need freshly squeezed lime juice, raspberry syrup, and orange curaçao. These ingredients can be found at most liquor stores or online.
Once you have your ingredients ready, it's time to start mixing your cocktail. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. Add 2 ounces of rum, 1 ounce of lime juice, 1/2 ounce of raspberry syrup, and 1/2 ounce of orange curaçao to the shaker.
Close the cocktail shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This will ensure that all the ingredients are well mixed and chilled. After shaking, strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. You can garnish the drink with a lime wedge or a raspberry if desired.
The Knickerbocker Special is a versatile cocktail that can be modified to suit your taste. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add more raspberry syrup. Alternatively, if you like a stronger drink, you can increase the amount of rum in the recipe.
Next time you're in the mood for a tropical cocktail, give the Knickerbocker Special a try. Its combination of rum, lime juice, raspberry syrup, and orange curaçao is sure to transport you to a sunny beach and leave you feeling refreshed. Cheers!
