Passion pineapple mix

We have a lot of passion fruit where we live along with cheap rum. We decided to make some mixtures with it. Just mix some rum, pineapple and several flavored rums to make a great mix. The key is to let it sit in the fridge overnight.

Bannockburn with Lemon

On the weekend we usually have a mix drink with breakfast. Normally it's a mimosas or a Bloody Mary.  I have some old V8 that needs to be used up. The last weekend and yesterday we had the bloodys. Unfortunately I was not on the mood for a bloody. Instead I took to the internet top find a recipe to use with my v8. Actually I searched for tomato juice recipes. 

That's when I came across this Bannockburn recipe.

1 part scotch (some say whiskey and I used Dewars )
3 parts tomato juice (V8 for me)
Dash of Worcester sauce

I didn't like it but then I added a lemon and wow. I love it.
