As you may or may not know (probably not know is most likely), I decided to make two lists of things I wanted to do this year and one of those lists was a things I'd like to do/try/learn.
Of those
things, one of them was Make my own cocktail.
Now since
I have no Idea of cocktails or the making of them, I hold out little hope of achieving
this. I mean, do you need to send your potential cocktail to the cocktail
creations and decisions board?
well that
aside I thought I'd start with my favourite Rum.... Kraken Rum.
It's a
dark spiced Rum with a picture of a mythical giant Octopus happily waving a
boat around on it.
If you
like spiced Rums such as Captain Morgan’s or Sailor Jerries then I suggest you
give this one a try. It's good.
Cocktail
number 1.
An
interesting drink which comprises of Chocolate milkshake and Kraken Rum in a
small glass and with a lemon on the side (make sure the lemon doesn't fall in
or it will ruin the drink. It's always nice to have a beverage with an element
of danger attached to it) which I call River Tees due to it
separating ever so slightly and looking murky but still enjoyable... just like
the river Tees in the North East of England.
Cocktail
number 2.
A cheeky
blend of Kraken Rum, Ginger ale, a quarter of lime and or lemon that has been
squeezed into the drink then put in the drink and two drops of chilli sauce (Tabasco
etc) in a tall glass.
I call
that one Release the Kraken.
If these
are already cocktail then I apologies and need to get beck to my cocktail based
ruminations :-)

right - river tees
The lime and or lemon is to, of cause, prevent scurvy
