Add all the ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake, and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a slice of fruit.

I really enjoyed this one :D

Put ice cubes into a glass and add the ingredients to your liking :D

Gay times with Mount Gay Rum

I had a great weekend with my good friend Andrew aka Snuffy Kamau.

He brought some Mount Gay Rum, ‘the rum that invented rum’, which is nearly, if not impossible to find in Kenya! It is a gold rum with a smooth buttery taste.

This rum is terrible! You know why? Because it tastes so good and it’s so smooth that you are more than likely going to get plastered off your face!

We had a blast with this and he showed me how to make some really cool cocktails. I named one of them Rock Rum [recipe coming soon].

Royal Rum

Rations of rum were given to sailors in the British army to be mixed with lime because it fought off the scurvy! Add some sugar syrup in there and you have a Daiquiri :D

Now we know the secret to Captain Jack Sparrow’s smile ;D

Guess what! It’s Rum Month!

For the next four weeks, I will be featuring rum cocktails! What a great accompaniment for summer right??

What’s your favorite rum cocktail?
