I tried a couple of new drinks out last night. First, the verdict on the long-awaited Jungle Bird was unanimously negative. Nobody finished theirs, except me, which also meant I finished my wife's. I enjoyed the three distinct flavors you get in that drink but the Cruzan Blackstrap just seemed to take the drink over. I found it passable while my guests found it undrinkable. Maybe we'd prefer it with Goslings or Coruba or El Dorado 12?

Another failed experiment was the Ankle Breaker. Somehow I got it into my head that I should buy some Cherry Heering (along with the Campari, couple of spirits I don't usually have around) and that was the only recipe offhand I could find with it. It sort of reminded me of that stuff that rappers in the south drink with the codeine cough syrup...sizzrup? "Purple drank?" Only red :)

Luckily I also served a Fogg Cutter and Painkillers that everybody enjoyed. Tonight its Don the Beachcomber to erase the unpleasant memories from my taste buds.
