Thirsty Thursday #5

#ThirstyThursday is back again! This week I wanted to introduce you to Pain D’Avignon, the latest restaurant to stock Bully Boy products on its shelves. This place is awesome - located near the airport in Hyannis - it’s half bakery and half cafe boulangerie extraordinaire. Not only does the bakery produce over 20 different breads and baked goods, which is an impressive feat, but they offer dine-in European-style breakfast as well as lunch and dinner to all their patrons.

And what better way to compliment a delicious meal than with a mouth-watering Bully Boy cocktail. (I mean, am I right, or am I right?) We are not only new to the shelves of Pain D’Avignon, but to all of Cape Cod! If you think that means you won't be seeing us around you are sorely mistaken.

We were lucky enough to catch up with Brendan, the manager at Pain D’Avignon, and get the inside scoop for what he plans on cooking up with our Bully Boy products. This is what he created:

Hot Buttered Rum
2oz Bully Boy Rum
Hot water
Tablespoon and a half of "mix"

So what exactly is this mystery "mix" that makes this cocktail so good?

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 t nutmeg
1/8 t cloves
1/8 t cinnamon

Looks amazing, right? I think I would start with dessert and work backwards.

This cocktail is not only a Pain D'Avignon specialty, but it is one of only four cocktails in the restaurant found on a menu (the dessert menu no less). If you want a dinner cocktail Brendan suggested trying the cocktail du jour, which allows the bartenders to play around and create something new everyday. If you're planning on sticking to the dessert menu, however, pair this delectable drink with the creme brulee. When I asked Brendan for his suggestion, he said that the sugary, vanilla custard of the creme brulee was definitely a good match but he preferred marrying good cocktails with good conversation. I couldn't agree more, Brendan!

And with that, have a safe and enjoyable weekend. Peace, love and Bully Boy.
