My wife isn’t a big drinker but she does enjoy an occasional Melon Ball. I picked up a bottle of Midori and some pineapple juice last night so I could mix her a drink. But, what was I going to do with liqueur after that? I also had that bottle of 151 Rum that I wasn’t sure what to do with either.

I took out the latest edition of the Mr. Boston book (Platinum Edition) and started to thumb through the recipes. I like this edition of the book because everything was re-vamped and all references to sour mixes and other pre-packaged ingredients have been replaced with fresh squeezed juices and other natural ingredients.

This drink is built right in the glass you are going to drink it in. The grenadine lies in a small red puddle at the bottom giving the drink a cool look. The pineapple juice really cuts the 151 rum so you don’t feel it burn.  This is a very sweet drink with a bit of a kick. A couple of these and I think that 151-proof rum will sneak up on you.
