koko kanu

"Jamaica's Arawak Indians are a part of the Island's colourful history and they gave the language of the island several words including Hammock and Canoe. Now, Jamaica's leading rum producer, names Koko Kanu in honour of its proud and peaceful people.

This legendary combination has been subtly blended in Koko Kanu to harmonize the natural aroma and flavour of coconuts with the finest Jamaican Rum".

Enjoy Koko Kanu on its own or mixed (on ice is the business)

Available at most pubs up town or to buy at Harvey Nics!

Sound very similar to a Long Island Iced Tea, magbagpuss....which is equally delicious, and v potent.

do you like cold fennel tea or does it do something dramatic/helpful to the body?

I'm drinking a nice glass of NZ Sauvignon, very yummy it is too - and all mine

BC hates it.

I like it! It's a good thirst quencher and supposed to be good for (in)digestion

Allegedly fennel helps put a person off eating chocolate as the tastes don't go together. I'm testing the theory

The standard one's one of my favourites, does the special edition taste the same, different, better...?

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 13 May 2007, 19:02

Even better. It's on offer at Sainsbury's just now. Get yourself a case.

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 18 Jun 2007, 22:49

I will have a nice glass or two of chilled rose wine and you will probably have a glass of some fancy liqueur or an even fancier hot chocolate drink or a cup of tea made up of silly ingredients.

or I might just top myself.

29 years. That's depressing, that is.
