Friday Night Cocktail: Derwood's Rum and Raisin Iced Cream

Our good friend Derwood does like a creamy drink.  And he loves PX sherry.  We have no idea if he likes rum and raisin ice cream or not.  But we hope that he does, because that's what this drink tastes like, if a little boozier.  We hope you like it too!  I went all out and additionally soaked some raisins in PX for a few days before making the cocktail, the drink is no less raisiny without them but they are a delicious garnish.

YOU WILL NEED

(Enough for Merv too)

• 2 shots dark rum
• 4 shots Pedro Ximenez sherry
• 4 shots double cream
• At least 8 large black raisins soaked in a shot glass of PX for 3-5 days

AND TO MAKE

Add all your ingredients, except the raisins, to your cocktail shaker, along with plenty of ice.  Shake until icy cold.

TO SERVE

Spear your PX raisins onto a cocktail stick for garnish, 4 is plenty per glass.  Strain your chilled cocktail over the garnish.  Cheers Derwood!
