I'VE DRANK THEM ALL IN MY LIFETIME! I think it a lot safer to drink straight Absolut Vodka, Jack and Coke, Barcardi 151 Rum and Coke, Comacazie's, Straight Tequilla with the worm in the bottle to name a few. Oh I forgot, Early Times and Southern Comfort with Coke. I dare anyone to mix straight Tequilla and Jagermeister together. ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brspled Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Nazdrovia! It looks really good! but it isn't the original caipirinha. This one is made of rum and brown sugar - or so it looks like on the pic, some people call this drink caipirissima - the original caipirinha is made of white sugar and cachaça. Not rum, neither vodca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
