In this episode of The Reading Lounge Sarah and Cynthia discuss West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge. Inspired by a true story, Rutledge takes us on a journey with a pair of giraffes, their caretaker, and our storyteller across the country headed for the San Diego Zoo. A tale told against the backdrop of The Great Depression makes for great discussion. Join us while sipping on this month's cocktail, a Giraffe's Print!
2 oz spicy golden rum
1 oz Amaretto
1 oz fresh lemon juice
1 oz simple syrup
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 egg white
Ice
Orange peel (we used lemon peel) for garnish
Add rum through bitters into shaker with ice and pour into your favorite cocktail glass. Whip up egg white and add a dollop to top. Garnish with citrus peel.
Enjoy!
