This post has been floating around on two of my other, much older blogs for several year now but I felt it worth reposting. See, if I had really been thinking I would’ve included a picture of said cocktail in this thing. Alas, I’m out of several ingredients, and no one wants to see a picture of a glass of air.
Here ’tis:

Yup! It sure is. My brother first mentioned it when I last saw him down in FL but he didn’t tell me what it was called. Actually, his wife mentioned it to me. Said they had a party at their old house in OH, and he made something that tasted just like a melted lime popsicle, but…you know, wasn’t. She knew how strong they were and only had one (I think), but everyone else at the party was tossing them down like mad.
Needless to say, though it’s being said anyway, hilarity ensued (yeah FARK reference!).
Anyway here it is, for those who want to try it out. I wish I could show you a picture, but since my Interweb (har har) is broken partly, I can only give you the text. But yeah, it’s a good time…

1 oz vodka
1 oz Midori melon liquer
1 oz rum (don’t use a dark one like Meyer’s, or clear like Bacardi silver. Anything else is good)
Lemonade (I’ve found Minute Maid works the best. And don’t use pink lemonade either, that’d just be nasty)
Maraschino cherry (the really sweet ones that some freaks put in salad)
Step 1: Pour vodka, Midori and rum into a cocktail shaker with ice
Step 2: Shake, and chill the hell out of it
Step 3: Strain into a highball glass filled with ice
Step 4: Top with lemonade and stir for a bit, to get it all nice and…stirred
Step 5: Toss that cherry on top and throw in one of those Stir ‘n’ Sip straw things, or whatever you want
Step 6: Enjoy the bastard! Then…make some more.
Sure, it might look involved and hell, maybe it really is but you know what? It just tastes too damn good not to make at least once, and once you make it there’s no going back. I swear it tastes JUST like a melted lime popsicle if you do it right. Smooooth.
Actually you know what? You can modify that cherry bit and put a real one in there if you want, with the stem and whatnot. I originally started out using the ones in the jar, I think they’re just called Mr. Cherry. They were ok, but they kept sinking to the bottom too fast, ‘course then you can make a game of trying to skewer them on your straw so that’s fun, too. But if you want, use the ones with the stems in ‘em for better floating power.
