We are still on Jamaica time, mon. Everything in Jamaica runs slow, very slow and stop. So, that’s why this week TAGT is actually on Wednesday. Yeah, mon. Anyway, while in Jamaica we were introduced to several drinks, including:
Painkiller
2 ounces dark rum
1 ounce cream of coconut
4 ounces pineapple juice
1 ounce orange juice
Dark ‘N Stormy
2 ounces black rum
4 ounces ginger beer
Ambassador
I couldn’t find an online recipe for this one, but from what we recall it had Amaretto, bananas, rum, some sort of creamy something, served frozen.
Ting
A soft drink made with grapefruit juice.
Which drink was the crowd favorite?
a. Painkiller
b. Dark ‘N Stormy
c. Ambassador
d. Ting
Does anyone like ginger beer? I’m going with A again. I could use one right now!
I’m going with Painkiller, cuz that sounds super yummy to me!
I personally love ginger beer. But, as I have gotten older, I’ve become a ginger lover. Ginger lemonade, ginger molasses cookies. Oh, I’m drooling on my keyboard!
Nana guesses B. No reason.
I’m going with Ting. Just ’cause I’m not a huge fan of rum… although A & C sound tempting. I love amaretto and would certainly try the painkiller out of curiosity…
Although I was partial to Tin myself, everyone raved about C, the frothy concoction named Ambassador. For those of us beer and wine drinkers, we were in awe of all the mixed drinks the bartenders conjured up.
