This week I tried something different for our neighborhood St. Patricks week celebrations. Since I live in Florida, I wanted something cool and refreshing for our pool party. Sailor Jerry dark amber rum is a favorite with my sail boating friends on both coasts. This cocktail dates back to the 1960’s. I read that was a favorite libation of John F. Kennedy, who loved sailing off the coast of Cape Cod.
Sailor Daiquiri
Ingredients:
1.5 ounces Sailor Jerry, the original spiced rum
1.5 ounces pineapple juice
.75 ounces lime sour
lime wheel for garnish
Method:
Pour all ingredients into a shaker with ice.
Strain mixture into a chilled martini glass.
Garnish with lime wheel.
Tips:
Go easy, as Sailor Jerry rum is 92 proof. You can use any spiced rum for this daiquiri.
If you serve Captain Morgan spiced rum, it becomes a Captain Daiquiri.
