Kokomo Joe
Starting when, could Americans order mixed drinks in a bar?
MOREAmericans were happily ordering cocktails at bars since 1860, but then in the 1920, Prohibition was enacted and then, after long thirteen years, In 1933 the 21st Amendment was passed repealing Prohibition.
This amendment gave states the power to control alcohol sales within their own borders. So, while some states continued to prohibit alcohol sales others quickly lifted their bans.
As a result, Americans were able to order mixed drinks in a bar starting in 1933. A happy goodbye to hush hush speakeasies and bootlegging of hooch, it was.

Kokomo Joe Recipe

White Rum
In the making of Rum, the produce of the fermentation and distillation process of molasses is a transparent spirit, which is then aged in vats or barrels and the end result of the ageing is Rum.
White Rum differs from Dark Rum in this process of ageing, while to produce a Dark Rum, the distillate is aged in a large charred oak barrel, White Rum is aged in big stainless still barrels.
There are no legal categorisatoin of Rums and it's just a matter of practice that dark rum is used in cooking or is drunk straight or with a Cola , white rums are mostly used in cocktails.Creme De Banane
Crème de Banane is a banana flavoured liqueur bottled at 17–25% Alcohol by Volume. it is mostly used in alcoholic beverages, in cocktails and in cooking and as dessert dressing too.
Crème de Banane, are based on neutral alcohol distilled from beet root and flavoured with an extract made from both a distillation and infusion of bananas, and sweetened with sugar.
Note: If a Creme de Banane liquor is not available a Creme de Banane Syrup can be used as a replacement too.Orange Juice
Orange Juice is an excellent source of Vitamin C, one cup contains twice the daily recommended value. Vitamin C supports the immune system and helps fighting the common cold. The folate in Orange juice supports healthy fetal development. It is low calory and thus is already a qualified alternative to cola fizz in your cocktail if you want to keep your drinks acceptably healthy.
Orange Juice being citrus and naturally sweet and sour, it literally goes with almost any liquor, and of course Vodka being neutral, the best known pairing is with Vodka. But goes well with Dark Rum too, and you get the Planter's Punch, mix it with Champagne and you have made a mimosa, or with tequila to make a tequila sunrise.Pina Colada Mix
Pina Colada Mix is available as ready to mix bottles without the Rum in it, but one can easily make a Pina Colada mix for a Pina Colada experience at home from three simple ingredients, frozen pineapple chunks and pineapple juice, coconut milk ( even better if home made ) and lime juice.
It only takes a minute or two to blend up. It contains zero added sweeteners and then all you need is a White Rum for the punch and a Dark Rum for a depth in the flavour, and your Pina Colada is ready. For a recipe that work well, see here.
When Pina Colada mix is used as an ingredient in a cocktail, it usually refers to the virgin mix only.Banana
The 99 line of Schnapps is produced by Barton Brands Ltd, now part of the Sazarec Company. The 99 line of Schnapps is the only 99 proof Schnapps and the tastes are intense and makes cocktails stand out. The 99 Bananas is a tropical Banana flavoured Schnapps in the 99 line and is great companion in tropical cocktails.
