Iced Jamaican Coffee

An iced version of the popular Jamaican coffee cocktail. It's a nicely creamy iced coffee, with the smooth warmth of dark rum and Tia Maria.
Ingredients:

* 1 oz dark rum
* 1 oz Tia Maria
* 3/4 oz heavy cream
* 4 oz chilled coffee
* Crushed ice

Preparation:
Combine liqueurs, coffee and cream. Partially fill a wine glass with crushed ice, and pour mixture over ice. Serve.

i just made up a recipe:

~8 oz. hot black coffee
1 shot dark rum
half and half to taste

calling it "The Needful."
and now i will do it.

(it's not that good, btw. but it serves the purpose of bridging the gap between "coffee time" and "drinks time.")

anniversario

we polished our bottle of aNiversario last night. apparently heaven needed 2 venezuelan rums.

i am enjoying the cruzan dark (which is really amber) tonight

i am appreciating the shit out of this rum

appreciation is the name of the game

cane cutters, a salute

oak, thanks for existing

appreciation is a feeling

and also more than

to the person that calls a bartender out for being racist because all the rum is at the bottom but then gets cheers from the crowd for saying 'all a joke' I SALUTE YOU
