independence day falls on a wednesday this year. while it may not me the most convenient day for a holiday, the way i see it, it just means we have two weekends to celebrate our countries independence and the sacrifice so many made to keep it that way.
this friday, i am kicking of the 10 day celebration with a cocktail.
i call this the firecracker - its a slight twist on a lava flow, but with a blue straw, it's a red, white, and blue explosion.
cheers!
The Firecracker
makes 2 drinks
5-6 large strawberries, rinsed and hulled
2 oz rum
2 oz pineapple rum
2 oz coconut rum
5 oz cream of coconut
