BACARDI USA’s Salute to Summer’s Best 60 Second Cocktail Program


Summertime is an awesome time to try new drinks and beverages. The cool people over at Bacardi USA have come up with some amazing drinks for the liquor connoisseur in us all. With creative help by celebrity chef John Besh and celebrity mixologist Bryan Stowe, Bacardi has implemented fresh, chic drinks alongside a menu of delectable food that can impress even the pickiest of palettes.

According to Bacardi USA’s press release:

The “60 Second Cocktail” recipes are simple yet creative, and pair fresh, natural ingredients with flavorful BACARDI products. Recipes include a GREY GOOSE Fresh Berry Lemonade, a BACARDI Limon Iced Tea, a DEWAR’S Callaway Cocktail, and more—all of which can be made in under 60 seconds with easy to find ingredients. Besh’s recipes use BACARDI products on the grill to create meals that can be made in the blink of an eye and are sure to impress friends and family. The “60 Second Cocktails” guide features Besh’s healthy, original grilling recipes, easily prepared in under 10 minutes. Recipes such as the Grilled Chicken Breast with Tequila CAZADORES Reposado Lime Glaze or the Grilled Flank Steak with Louisiana Peach and GREY GOOSE Citron Glaze pair perfectly with the featured spirits to draw out natural flavors while adding an extra kick.

In association with the USO, Bacardi, USA “has committed to donate $75,000 to the USO at the onset of summer, with consumers (21+) able to increase the total donation amount to a maximum of $100,000 through their participation in the program via the “60 Second Cocktails” Facebook fan page. Each time a new fan of the program joins the “60 Second Cocktails BACARDI, USA will increase its donation to the USO by $1.”

So it’s easy to help the USO. Become a fan of the “Salute to Summer’s Best 60 Second Cocktail” page at HERE and join the movement—your support will benefit the USO!

CHEF JOHN BESH’S EASY GRILLING RECIPES:

Grilled Watermelon, Tomato and Goat Cheese Salad

Serves 6

The hotter the grill is the better the “grill marks” will be left on the melon. I love the spicy pepper jelly vinaigrette over the melon before it’s grilled because the sugars will quickly caramelize, creating an incredible flavor. However, feel free to substitute what ever vinaigrette you may have on hand.

6 large slices seedless watermelon, rind removed

2 tablespoons BACARDI® GRAND MELÓN Pepper Jelly Vinaigrette

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1 pinch sugar

1 sprig basil, chopped

2 cups tomatoes, peeled (mixed colors of smaller varieties are best)

1/2 cup fresh goat cheese

2 or 3 handfuls of young lettuces

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh garden herbs such as chives, chive blossoms, chervil, parsley and / or dill

Marinate the watermelon in the BACARDI GRAND MELÓN Pepper Jelly Vinaigrette for several minutes before grilling over high heat. Grill each both sides of the watermelon for several minutes and remove.
In a small mixing bowl whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, garlic, sugar and basil together with enough salt and pepper to tasted.
Toss the small tomatoes with the vinaigrette in the bowl and place on individual plates or a platter along with the grilled watermelon.
Crumble the goat cheese over the top of the tomatoes and watermelon. Toss the lettuces in the vinaigrette remaining in the small bowl and serve over the top of the salad.
Garnish with what ever fresh garden herbs that you have available.

BACARDI® GRAND MELÓN Pepper Jelly Vinaigrette

Yields 4 cups

2 red peppers, brunoise

1 cup pepper jelly

1/2 cup red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon sambal chili paste

2 cup canola

1/2 cup Bacardi Grand Melón Flavored Rum

Salt and black pepper to taste

In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients and whisk until well combined.

Grilled Flank Steak with Louisiana Peach and GREY GOOSE® Citron Glaze

Serves 6

3 pounds flank steak

2 teaspoons canola oil

1 shallot, minced

1 clove garlic

1 teaspoon ginger, minced

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

1 1/4 cup over ripe peaches, roughly chopped

1 tablespoon sambal chili paste

1/2 cup GREY GOOSE Citron Flavored Vodka

1/4 cup sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

In a small sauce pan cook the canola oil, shallot, garlic and ginger over medium heat until the shallot becomes translucent but not brown.
Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil on high, before removing and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Season flank steak with salt and pepper. Coat with olive oil and grill over medium heat. Cook until rare or desired temperature.
Slice flank steak thin and serve with glaze.

Grilled Chicken Breast with Tequila CAZADORES® Reposado Lime Glaze

Serves 6

1/2 cup rice wine vinegar

4 tablespoons Vietnamese fish sauce

4 tablespoons sugar

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 clove fresh garlic, peeled

2-3 teaspoons sambal chili paste

3 tablespoons Tequila CAZADORES Reposado

6 boneless chicken breasts

1 lime, zested

Combine wine vinegar, fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, garlic, sambal, and Tequila CAZADORES Reposado into a food processor and puree for a moment or so with 1/2 cup water. Do not worry about straining the sauce. Reserve about 1 cup of sauce.
Marinate chicken breast in remaining glaze for 20 minutes. Remove chicken from marinade and grill on a preheated grill over medium heat for about 4 minutes on each side.
Top with grated lemon zest and serve with a side the glaze.
