Beverage Experiment #1



In a collins glass:

2 ounces Sailor Jerry Spiced Navy Rum
2 ounces Apple Juice
Fill with Club Soda
Splash of Lime Juice


Just rummaging around the refrigerator to see what kind of mix we had as I need some hair of the dog what bit me. The flavour is okay, the club soda - as usual - adds a nice sparkle to the proceedings. Next time, more apple juice, that's for sure.

This apple-rum combination is definitely something that needs to be explored further there could be some great drinks to be discovered.

Sailor Jerry Rum itself is fantastic. It's almost perfectly overproofed, coming in at a tonsil-singeing 46%, but that boozy heat doesn't hit you at all off the top. It's all sweetness and caramel and maple flavours and then the Sailor walks up behind you and rams all that booze straight up your ass.

For the record Pinot Noir + Whiskey + Gin + Beer - Food = one seriously whanging headache.
