Cocktail Of The Week - The Jack Sparrow

With Chris working I’m going to have a lot of time on my hands. And while I laze on the deck, daydreaming of writing novels, I’ve decided I can best augment that experience by inventing my own Tropical Cocktails. Here’s my first attempt (a big thanks to Han for supplying the decorations):

The Jack Sparrow
- 1/3 of a fresh lime (skin on) per glass, blended with 3/4 of a cup crushed ice.
- Coca Cola
- Vanilla flavoured light rum (I used Cruzan Vanilla Rum) to taste
- Tropical themed Decorations

Apart from having to spit out the lime peel blended up with the ice I think this drink was a great success – refreshing and very tasty. Maybe next time I’ll just use plain lime juice. Live and learn. ; ) Next week’s cocktail, “The Raro Sling”…

What a great idea for a regular feature. I have cocktail name & it would be great if you could design me one. I was thinking "the Tragic Slapper" so I could go to the bartender - Bartender, do you serve tragic slappers?
oh harr harr harrr.
Also, you could have a very refreshing drink incorporating stuff sold at the chemist. Not necessarily pills, but how about mouthwash?
