On board Shoestring we make it our effort to keep a well stocked drinks cabinet for unexpected vistors, end of a days sail or simply to have a "I NEED A DRINK" moment. -We all have them.So starting the series we have Sailor Jerry Rum. A blend of Caribbean spiced rum with vanilla and lime. Unlike other strong rum, this goes down very smooth.
Apparently Sailor Jerry Collins 1911-79 was apparently the most famous tattoo artist of all time. He was the first to go to Japan to learn the sacred art of tattooing back in the 20s. He set up shop in Honolulu in the 30s decorating sailors with his distinctive designs.
Sailor Jerry rum is based upon Sailor Jerry's own personal recipe he used to serve his customers.
TM's mum introduced us to this one and it was well received, earning itself a place in Shoestring's cabinet. A nice drink either neat or with Coke, however we recommend mixing it with Diet Coke, fresh Lime Juice, and ice. -no lime slice or it may get too 'fruity'. Now i've wrote this review, I need to buy a bottle.
