Well now, I received this delightful bottle of award-winning Worthy Park 109 at this year’s UK Rumfest. Boy does it pack a funky punch! Strong, yet full of flavour, I needed something that would let the rum and cocktail ingredients shine together, so this was a creamy spin on a jungle bird recipe. It has layers of flavour, creamy at the top, as you sip your way down it gets to the rum kick from the 109. So adjust your straw height to taste the different flavours.
This cocktail not only tastes great but looks delightful and extremely inviting. So perfect for celebrations and festive gatherings. It will certainly brighten up the place once you and your guests get sipping. You can also omit the rum in this recipe and use as a tasty mocktail for non-drinkers and youngers. They will certainly love the creamy topping.
This makes 1 glass, so adjust to how many you need. I made some fresh mango ice cream, which went perfect with this. You can choose an ice cream of your liking. A coconut, strawberry or banana are some that would work. I also made fresh pineapple juice and did not straight to get a lovely thick creamy texture.
You will need: Blender if making fresh pineapple juice. Cocktail shaker & highball or glass wear of your choice.
