Tropical Breeze Cocktail

Kevin wanted to buy some beer last weekend, so we headed out to our local bottle shop. While he was at the beer section, deciding between a 24 can carton of Heineken or some other beer, I wandered around the shop aimlessly. I initially wanted to check if they had any Lychee liquer in stock, so that I can make some Lychee Martinis. Unfortunately, they didn't have any. Oh well, no big deal. I'll just buy some 7 Up and mix it with one can of Kevin's beer and make some Shandy. Then, something else caught my eye.

I have never seen this on the shelves before (not that I am always looking, maybe it's been there all this while, I don't know...). A 750ml bottle of ready to serve Captain Morgan Parrot Bay Tropical Mojito Cocktails, Mango flavor. It's a blend of Caribbean white rum, Curacao liquer and exotic tropical fruit flavors. The alcohol content is 12.7%, with a 25.4 proof. The label suggested serving it over ice with some mint or a slice of lime. However, I figured it will be even yummier if I used this in a cocktail. So, here's the cocktail I came up with.

Start off by scooping some crushed pineapples and placing it at the bottom of a hurricane glass.

Then, add in some crushed ice til it fills up about half of the glass.

Now, add in the Capt Morgan Parrot Bay Tropical Mojito Cocktail mix. I poured in til it filled a little over half of the glass. If you like your cocktail to have a little more kick to it, you can fill it up til 3/4 of the glass.

Then, squeeze into the glass the juice of about half a large orange.

Finally, top it all up with some Mountain Dew.

Mmmmm mmmm mmmmm, a cool and refreshing glass of Tropical Breeze (that's what I called my creation :P). I just love how all the citrus and exotic fruit flavors come together, with the fizz from the Mountain Dew. Trust me, it's really good. A perfect drink on a hot summer's day!
