With this Sailor Jerry Whipped Cream Birthday Cake Cocktail, you’ll be wishing that it’s your birthday everyday!
It’s true, the small things in life are worth celebrating. But, of course, when a milestone comes rolling around, you pull out the big guns. We’re talking over the top parties, presents and, of course, tippled concoctions to commemorate the momentous occasion.
This year, to honour and help celebrate the man behind the bottle, American tattoo artist Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins and his 110th birthday, we’ve been treated to a birthday cocktail recipe that may even be better than the pure joy of having a Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake made especially for you… it’s a Sailor Jerry Whipped Cream Birthday Cake Cocktail.
A party in itself, this shaken drink of joy will see a charismatic blend of Sailor Jerry Rum and coffee liqueur ignite. Topped with whipped cream, a cherry and lots of sprinkles, the Sailor Jerry Whipped Cream Birthday Cake Cocktail will have you wishing that it’s your birthday everyday.
So, in the famed words of Marie Antoinette, “let them eat cake!”
