This is the season for pumpkin spice drinks! But wait..pumpkin belongs in a pie so we are going to do cinnamon spice rum drinks. These drinks follow the evolution of drinks from a basic recipe and add another element/ingredient and now a new recipe. This show will cover 4 drinks today! Yes 4. Well, we have one called the Flip from the 1700's, Hot toddy from 1786, Jerry Thomas's (1862) who was one of the first bartenders to publish his recipes to the world, and finally Martha Stewart. Yes, cooking with Craig and Cam.We will talk about a special tool to make the Flip cocktail that was used back in the tavern days (1700's). Loggerhead ( and no not the turtle) that would be heated up and sear the drink to perfection. If a brawl broke out, you got a weapon to defend yourself as well. Martha Stewart's recipe will have butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla ice cream. And of course, gold rum!!On The "Where did it come from?": we will cover the Cruzan rum which is one of my favorite rums from the Caribbea
