1/2 shot Bacardi Big Apple Rum
1/2 shot Coconut Rum
1/2 glass Kiwi Strawberry Minute Maid (or Kool-Aid)
A little less than 1/2 a glass Sprite
3 Strawberries

Zero Suit Samus (Metroid Cocktail)

Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz. Hpnotiq
1 oz. Blue Curacao
1/2 oz. freshly squeezed orange juice
A splash of Midori
A splash of Apple Pucker
3/4 cup ice 

Directions: Squeeze the juice out of half an orange and use a scoop to remove the pulp, leaving you with just a clean rind. Measure the juice to 1/2 oz. and blend all ingredients together and strain into a glass. Place the orange over the glass and serve. Before drinking, remove the “armor” and enjoy.
