Thirsty Thursday: Daiquiris Two Ways
Covering the AT&T National Pro Am this week hasn’t stopped my palate from enjoying a few adult libations of choice. However, traveling and attempting to construct poetic proses about alcohol isn’t necessarily one of my strengths.
Therefore, I’ve called upon the experts in the ways of spirits to handle this week’s edition of Thirsty Thursday: Greg & Katherine from Rufus’ Food and Spirits Guide. Their site is an ideal concoction of food and adult beverages along with a smattering of original humor. Never dole and always satisfying reading Rufus’ Guide has become a daily part of my gluttonous lifestyle…make it yours as well.
So many thanks to Greg & Katherine for wetting our whistles this week and here’s what you should be drinking…
We at Rufus’ Food and Spirits Guide were highly honored when Jed, aka Sports Glutton, asked us to participate in Thirsty Thursdays. You see Sports Glutton is the only sports blog we read, our go-to source for all things sports-related. OK, full disclaimer, by sports-related we mean posts that include phrases like “Smoked Spicy Asian Chicken Wings inspired by the Buccaneers” (Gainesville just has the best teams). Anyway, he makes the kind of food we like to have on hand when the football game’s tied, the penalty shot fails, and the teams have to go to extra innings. So maybe we’re just a bit more into the glutton then the sports part.
We wanted to show our appreciation with two drinks not just one, so we whipped up these daiquiris. Remember daiquiris don’t have to have five types of pineapple, an umbrella and swizzle straw. (But don’t worry we have that recipe below too.)
On the Rocks
- 3 ounces fresh lime juice
- 3 ounces white rum
- 1 ounce simple syrup
Pour ingredients in a tumbler, stir and drink. Garnish with… you don’t need no stinking garnish.
The frozen fruit bomb
- 3 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup white rum
- 2 cups juice (cranberry pomegranate or orange work)
- juice from one lime
Place ingredients in a blender and blend. Remember to put the lid on first. Pour in giant curvy glasses and garnish with enough fruit to keep a small village from getting scurvy.
Bio: When Greg, aka Rufus, isn’t busy not watching sports, he can be found manning the smoker, wrangling two mutts, cooking his wife dinner, or sometimes just singing her a ballad, but only when he’s had too much scotch.
Two very delicious sounding rum drinks. Will definitely have to give them a try.
Cooking AND singing…and cocktails too. Now that´s multi tasking at its best
[...] taken our cocktail Wednesday post over to Sports Glutton, where depending on what time zone you’re in it might already be Thirsty Thursday. [...]
I’ll take mine on the rocks, Please. Hey, Katherine! Do you realize you have, within your grasp, the makings of the next viral YouTube video? Next time you break out the Scotch, bring along the camcorder, and start recording when the serenading begins.You are thisclose to world-wide fame and surely fortune will follow!
Rocks, please. Frozen is sure to give me brain freeze and that is no fun.
My first-ever and still-favorite…frozen strawberry daq.

My Dad whips up a mean one!
(I second Mr. Bartolini…we want video!
Hey we have that same placemat! Oh wait… Let this be a lesson to you all, never let your wife write your bio.
What was wrong with the bio? A a few more scotchs and you’ll feel better about it.
Thanks again for guest posting and serving up delicious concoctions…now where is the nearest bar where I can pick one up?
I love Greg & Katherine’s blog. The frozen fruit bomb sure does sound tasty!!
The frozen fruit bomb sound delisious. I agree with Bartolini, we want to see a video!!
You guys are too cute! Great bio too! lol
It was an excellent decision to invite Greg and Katherine. They are the masters in the art of cocktails making! Both Daiquiris look fantastic!
ahhh, the lid. That’s what I forgot.
They both look great!
woo hoo, brilliant .. how much fun was that, did you see ChgJohn sneaking out the back with the champers, he said he found SportsG’s cellar!! hope he left you something!
Great looking drinks. As it’s summer here in Sydney these would be so cool and refreshing at the end of the day.
Thumbs up on the frozen fruit bomb, we love frozen! And yes, putting the lid on the blender before blending is a great tip and one I needed the first time I made a frozen margarita…but I digress, I’ll quatro the Bartollini motion of a video!
I am ready for both, but the fruit bomb has to be my favorite pick. I love frozen drinks and the blend of red berries-yum!
These look amazing!!!
I’ll take the frozen more girly version, thank you!! The color is gorgeous and I’m thinking a nice Vday cocktail!!
Hurrayyyyy, I ‘ll go with the first one, I’m senting an email to my husband now to dont forget to bring some white rum on the way home… Have a wonderful weekend!!
Very nice guest post Greg and Katherine! I’ll take frozen girly version too. Cheers!
I love daiquiris…and of the two, the frozen berry one is calling my name! Yummy guest post~
Like I told Gregg I would love to have that frozen one!
[...] winced just taking the picture. If you’re like Greg and prefer daiquiris sans bananas, we did a post awhile back over at Sports Glutton that featured a recipe for a frozen berry daiquiri and one on the [...]
