Delicious hot-weather beverage.

Here's a spiffy drink I just learned how to make today that's perfect for late-summer evenings. It's a popular South American cocktail called a Paulistano.
In a tumbler, muddle together 3 key limes and 6 to 8 fresh mint leaves. Pour the juice and rinds into a cocktail shaker. Now add one part silver rum (I used Oronoco rum, which is niiiiice and smooth) and one part pineapple juice. Chase with a splash of Grand Marnier. Add lots of ice and shake-shake-shake! Strain the whole thing into a chilled cocktail glass. Now kick back and sip your delicious beverage, preferably with a lemonade-colored late evening summer sky in the background.
I found that adding a splash of grenadine syrup gave it a nice cherry-flavored kick... I don't know what it's called when you add grenadine, so I dubbed it the 'Otter Sunset' because it's pink. Mmm, tasty.

Sure is tasty, though.
take:
2 part coconut Rum
2 Part VAnilla Vodka
1 Part Everclear
1 part Amaretto (DiSarrano of course preferred)
4 parts Ice
8-10oz Cream of Coconut (brands vary, best to go with a sweeter brand)
little bit of light syrup (if not so sweet CoC)
Put all in blender, mix until very smooth, serve in glasses. Have very tasty coconut drink (closest i could get to coconut Mead from Ollie Canal's Rym setting, his otter races signature drink) i call Ottercum ^_^
4 parts is an approximation. Its supposed to even things out so it doesnt have that alcohol burn.
I try to stay away from Everclear specifically because you can't taste it. I never drink just for the buzz (and I've never even been legitimately drunk before). Mostly it's just because I like froo-froo tasting beverages. :3
