X-Rated Summer Brunch Cocktails

x-rated fusionBrunch is a time-honored tradition and a must for summer weekends. Who are we to thank this laid-back bonus meal that defies the rules established by the traditional three-times-daily meal plan?

Some claim brunch emerged as a leisurely privilege for wealthy Brits during the turn of the 19th/20th century and point to Guy Beringer’s 1895 essay “Brunch: A Plea,” in which he argued, “By eliminating the need to get up early on Sunday, brunch would make life brighter for Saturday-night carousers.” Others link brunch’s success in the US to the similarly timed introduction of Eggs Benedict in Manhattan.

Brunch is now a favorite meal that pairs well with a variety of occasions that include Mother’s Day celebrations, weddings, baby showers, birthdays and romantic weekend getaways. Summer, the season of extended vacations, trips to the beach and sunshine-filled days, offers the ideal months for this supplemental sit-down.

To spice things up, X-Rated Fusion Liqueur, a pink, exotic fusion of ultra-premium French vodka and vibrant blood oranges, mingling with the juices of ripe mangoes and luscious passion fruit. Liven up your summer brunch with a few of the X-Rated Fusion Liqueur cocktails below to help keep it the light-hearted, leisurely privilege it was designed to be.

  • Highland Park Valhalla Collection – Thor – Review

    The latest release from Highland Park is the first in a collection of four scotches with a release occurring every year, starting in 2012. It appears that each release will be named after a Norse god, and the first release is called Thor after the Norse god of thunder and war. Check out the Thor website. One may wonder why a Scotch house is paying homage to Norse gods. I know I asked myself that question. Well, it turns out that Orkney, the island where Highland Park is distilled, is actually as Norse as Scottish. The Vikings moved into Orkney in the 9th century and controlled it until the 15th century when the Scots gained control. In fact, the Vikings used Orkney as a base for raiding Britain, Scotland and other lands, including their brethren in Norway.
