Further Adventures in Booze Literacy

I have invented a drink! (Yes, this is the academic section of the blog, but I only started drinking cuz you have to in graduate school, so this is thoroughly appropriate. And how can I be fully fluent in Booze if I don't learn to write as well as read?) Here are the ingredients:

White chocolate syrup
Half and half
Seltzer
Malibu or other coconut rum
Serve over crushed ice.

Not quite sure of the proportions. I know it's only a shot of the syrup, enough h&h to make the drink at least opaque, and a significantly higher proportion of seltzer, but I started it off as a non-alcoholic drink and I only like a little alcohol so I'm not sure how much to put in.

I have a name for it though. I live in Washington Heights and go to school at Columbia, so it's a Gentrification. Mostly cuz you're putting inappropriate shit in a fine Caribbean beverage and making it taste like Bailey's.

Top with a copy of Bob Marley's album "Legend."

(p.s. very sorry to everyone who posted a comment which I did not approve til now! I lost track of things for a few weeks there.)

Mmmmmm.... Bailey's! Try it 50/50 with tea when you have to sit outside in the cold at Coyote Joe's!

Gentrification, that's a fine name for a drink. Ah, that's my girl, taking her place in a long line of cheap drunks!
