Your inspiration.

Four years ago, while in Italy, I got caught up in the World Cup festivities. Ever since then, I have followed soccer much more closely, so I was really excited about this summer's World Cup. While watching the matches, I decided to create a World Cup cocktail and this is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it!

Advice

  • If you want to really try and stay with the African theme, then try and get your hands on Starr African Rum; an African rum distilled and bottled on the island of Mauritius, which is off the southeastern coast of Africa.
