This pirate has improved a Cuban classic, now fit for taking along coastal raids and village plundering..

Mix your favorite mojito (Always use fresh mint!) skip the lime, and for the rum choose Pyrate Pistol. I also used sugar in the raw for the sugar, likely attributing to the sweetness. But my oh my, i only thought i liked mojito's before!

My most favorite potion will surly resurrect thee...or act as an effective embalmment!  ;)

This is a concoction developed over 25 years ago at a U.S. Army top secret laboratory located
somewhere in what was then West Germany... 8)

Ok me and a couple of my army buddies combined whatever we happened to have on hand one
boring Saturday while stationed in Germany.  :D

In a cocktail shaker mix:

1 shot Bacardi 151
1 shot Vodka
1 shot Gin
½  quart of Orange juice
Pour into a 16 oz glass with ice
Dribble in a liberal dash of grenadine (DO NOT STIR! THIS IS FOR EFFECT!)
One cherry.

Then you will have a VICIOUS VIRGIN!
