If you gave me all day I could never draw that dayem bird on a cup of coffee.

We hit a bar in San Jose and downed some Mojitos! Actually she had a Mango Mojito.
And we bumped into our Nissei congressman! :mrgreen:

Methiinks there may have been something other than plain sugar mixed in that brew. :hehe:

So what does one do for breakfast? Eat an egg and then throw back a bacon soda?

Now that's an idea - and one could expand the brand to:
- a spoon of butter and toast-flavored Jones
- a sausage and beans-flavored Jones
- a tomato and mozarella/basilicum flavoured Jones

The list is endless .... EstherM has dollar signs in her eyes :mrgreen:

Ah the memories. Wait, I was so drunk I actually don't remember much. :)

Pretty interesting read. I guess from a marketing standpoint they never really cultivated the image of rum as a sophisticated drink, like cognac or scotch.
