Caribou Lou is July 12th Drink of the Day!!

Couldn’t find anything to match with the history, so I figured I’d find something that would be nice and tropical for a nice summer’s day. I found it in the Caribou Lou. Rapper Tech N9ne sings about this cocktail in his song titled the same, introducing you to the ingredients he uses when making up a jug of this. I have condensed it down to what I feel is a good combination when introducing it as an individual cocktail. Enjoy, but be careful! The 151 will do a number on you if you’re not careful.

The Caribou Lou
1 1/2 oz. 151 Rum
3/4 oz. Coconut Rum
Pineapple Juice

Method: Begin by pouring the rums into a highball glass filled with ice. Top off with pineapple juice. Stir and serve.
