Based on the Pina Colada this tipple was mixed by Tim and friend John Vogel when they both worked in a Jazz bar. It was made for T L Lankford and with his guidance. He even gave the drink it's name. John said of working with Tim that, "Working with Tim was like skating on thin ice, you never knew what prank he was going to pull out of his pocket to stir the crowd up! One eye was always on the crowd with the other on Tim." Tim relived past times when he turned up as a guest on John's television programme "The Mix Masters". He conjured the Sir Rum A Lot with the words, "Excuse me Sir, is that rum in your drink, or are you just happy to see me?" Tim lived up to his prankster reputation too, pulling out a set of 'bubba' teeth while filming.
Alcohol-free version! 3 ounces of coconut cream 6 ounces of pineapple juice 1 huge scoop of vanilla ice cream (vanilla bean is best) 1 cup of crushed ice Whipped cream Blend everything in a blender and then add whipped cream to top it off!
