Summertime Sledgehammer

After a fabulous dinner this past weekend, the dishes were done and kitchen clean, guests had gone home, save Mary, who helps me immensely with some of the preparation of dishes for my blog. As well as the guests being gone, so was the wine, and we were still talking. Read more Something had to be done! I had some Limoncello left from the tiramisu, and some lovely dark rum that a dear friend had sent. After looking up drink recipes for dark rum, and not being particularly moved by any of them, the creative nature in me reared its head and came up with this drink. It has a light flavor that would be great on a hot summer's day -- thus the summertime part of the name. Contrary to what you may be thinking -- although later we found out it's quite apropos -- Sledgehammer came because Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer was playing while we were thinking of a name for this new concoction. The name stuck. Don't be afraid to add more water, but you certainly won't want to use less! Enjoy! -- Ray See less
