Jamaican OrangeCocktail recipe
Rating
While trekking through the jungles of Jamaica, searching for the elusive caper berry MJ came across a mythical fruit hanging from an ancient tree. MJ pulled one of the hard round fruits off and cracked it open with one crushing blow to his forehead, holding it above his head he squeezed the juice straight down his throat.
Eyes exploding with excitement, two words were born... Jamaican Orange!

FAQ's
Can I use a different type of rum instead of spiced rum for the Jamaican Orange cocktail?
