drink recipe

My Knees Hurt

2:1 ratio
-coffee brandy
-151 rum
+
1 tsp of icecream (may be substituted, and probably better with, a cream liquor such as Bailey's)

Inspiration: a rather productive day in the garden [1]
Review: while the cheap nature of the ingredients lends a certain medicinal air, the beverage is still fairly pleasant and grows more so as it is consumed. the ungracious breakdown of the icecream leads this reviews to suggest a substitution of Bailey's if available. overalll a satisfying beverage which fulfills its core objectives.
