Monkey balls

Don't ask why, but I just came across a recipe for a cocktail 'The Monkey Scrotum'.

mint
1 part lemon juice
1 part cointreau
1/2 part dark rum
dash bitters
tsp brown sugar

Instructions

Crush the mint with the sugar and add the lemon juice. Top up to half of the glass with ice. Pour rum and Cointreau over ice and mix thoroughly.

Now I'm sure you all appreciate where I could have gone for pictures...

I could have done with you and your monkey balls last Wednesday night as I sat solo in Matterhorn nursing my Glenfarclas ‘105’ Cask Strength 60° (Speyside), cursing the world and its inhabitants. I knew you would have been there for me in my time of need if you weren't over 'there' drinking good whisky, getting your music fix, and generally having a bonny old time : ) You would have told me to 'feck off' and drink up - the words I needed so much to hear. When I left the bar, there was a woman at the bus stop with a white rabbit (live) in a New World shopping bag - was it the whisky or was it a tohu? I miss the old Havana days...

Haha, not sure the name monkey scrotum is inspiring me to drink the cocktail but its certaining peaking my interest!! Sounds pretty dangerous though. Guessing you found it via the internet? Rather than in perhaps some more conventional printed cocktail books!
