Unmistakably Killik rum with its dunder, spunk and funk. Huge mandarin everything, it’s like peeling open a specially grown blue mandarin and shoving the whole damn thing in your mouth, with juicy, drippy pineapple mucking around in the background, probably about to accidentally knock a cricket ball through the kitchen window. Slurpable and silly, this is just the sort of irreverence you want from blue drinks. When they let the aliens out this is the first thing we serve them at the bar to show them “hey we say peace, but we mean party.” And when they say, “take us to your leader,” we just turn the music up, point to the lasers and say “how bananas is this, this cocktail is named after a 1961 movie where Angela Lansbury plays Elvis’ Mum. Elvis wants to just hang loose (same) and Lansbury tries to force him to work in the family pineapple business?”
And the alien goes, “ummmmm, OK. This drink is nice.”
