THE KINGSTON
1 ½ measure dark Jamaica rum
¾ measure gin
Juice from half a lime (or
¼ measure lime juice)
¼ measure grenadine
Someday I would like to go to Kingston Town, Mon, where the temperature is perfect and reggae fills the air.
Like everything else in existence, Kingston, Jamaica, has a cocktail named after it. To make a KINGSTON cocktail, simply put the ingredients listed above (be sure to use Jamaican rum!) into a tall cocktail glass that has been filled with ice, stir well and garnish with a slice of lime, if you have one. Clearly, I didn't have a lime. I have discovered that finding a good lime in the grocery stores around me is anything but "no problem."
Four interesting facts about Kingston the town:
1- the largest city in Jamaica
2- the capital of Jamaica
3- the largest English-speaking city south of the U.S.
4- founded in 1692 by earthquake refugees
Four interesting facts about Kingston the cocktail:
1- too sweet
2- not very good
3- a waste of gin
4- would only be good on a Jamaican beach as your third or fourth cocktail
Drink Up^
