Continuing from yesterday's entry, here is the second Orphan Black cocktail I posted in the comments to Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 74 at Booman Tribune, Orphan Black Rachel's Disposition Cocktail.

In creating this cocktail I wanted to symbolize Rachel’s seeming emotionless disposition so I chose to create the basis of the cocktail around a very simple cocktail called the Screwdriver. What sets this cocktail aside from just being a Screwdriver is that there once was love in Rachel’s heart so I chose a sweet flavorful Rum to accent it. Her rage which ultimately leads to the destruction of Cosima’s cure is symbolized by the addition of bitters. Overall this cocktail brings a mild bite with a slightly bitter finish. Sweet coconut notes are accented very well by the tart citrus flavor leading to a very enjoyable cocktail throughout.

Recipe:
2 oz. Vodka
1 oz. Coconut Rum
Dash of Bitters
Top with Orange Juice

Preparation: Add ice to a tall glass then add in the Vodka, Coconut Rum and Bitters. Next top off the glass with the Orange Juice and give it a quick stir then serve.

I have one more to post tomorrow. Stay tuned.
