Ingredients
• Rum

Fill a 9-ounce glass with ice cubes. Pour Coca-Cola in down the sides of the glass to avoid a bubbling effect. Add a squeeze of lemon. Stir. Pour in one shot glass full of Rum. Sip.
Mojito

• 2 tsp Sugar
• 3 tblsp fresh Lemon juice (or lime)
• 1 1/2 oz Light rum

In a tall thin glass, crush part of the mint with a fork to coat the inside. Add the sugar and lemon juice and stir thoroughly. Top with ice. Add rum and mix. Top off with the club soda (or seltzer). Add a lemon slice and the remaining mint. Serves one.
Piña Colada
is now known around the world as a symbol of the Tropics. Here's a possible beginning for your own romantic happenings:
Ingredients
• 8 fluid ounces Pineapple juice (preferably, of course, pineapple chunks from a fresh pineapple)
• 8 fluid ounces Coconut cream (available canned under several brand names. The best known is Coco Lopez, Real Cream of Coconut.
• 6 ounces Rum
• 3 to 4 cups of Ice
• Cherries
• Slices of pineapple, orange or lime
• Paper umbrellas (?)
In a blender, grind ice while gradually adding the pineapple, coconut cream and rum. Alternatively, use shaved ice. The ice should be thick enough to hold a cherry on top without sinking in. Serve in a tall glass with a straw. Garnish with one cherry and a slice of fruit. Insert a paper umbrella for that additional tropical, exotic touch.
Omit the rum for a delicious non-alcoholic Piña Colada.
