Nought-to-Riffty
It gets to that time in the evening when people have been drinking for a bit too long and they think there's some potential that they might start flagging. This happened on New Years Eve it was suggested that we needed a coke based cocktail to pick us up. I (bravely) took up the challenge.
I wanted something that'd bring out both the sticky sweetness of the coke and the lemony sharpness. With this in mind I carefully selected Southern Comfort for the sweetness and Midori (a melon liqueur) for the fruitiness. Added some white rum for extra alcohol and little twist. Mix that lot with ice, pour into a tall glass and add coke to the top and a slice of lime. An ideal mid party pick me up.
Oh, it's my birthday today. This means that just like yesterday I'm 364 days older than AK. I remember when getting older was a good thing.
