Greetings Steemit Friends!

On my last foodie adventure, we went exploring on the East End of beautiful St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands for STJ's best bites of traditional island grub.

I told you about my favorite homemade cocktail for my week long getaway, but I forgot to include the recipe in my post!

As I mentioned before, dining and grocery options are a bit more limited on the East End of the island compared to the Cruz Bay area.

So, with whatever glassware I had at my little bungalow, and local ingredients I could find at the nearby grocery store, I created a super casual libation...

A pristine beach on the East End of St. John, USVI.

It's a take off a rum buck (which is like a rum Moscow Mule) with coconut rum, ginger beer and fresh lime juice. Inspired by the frisky wildlife on STJ, I affectionately named it a Wild Donkey Buck!

This recipe is mostly in ratios. So, despite your choice of a tippling vessel it should be easy to make. However, you may need to make a tiny tweak or two...

For instance, say you're swigging from a drunken pirate's drinking tankard, you may want to add a bit more fresh lime juice. The choice is up to you!

Wild Donkey Buck Cocktail Recipe

Ingredients:

1/2 fl oz fresh lime juice
1 part coconut rum
2 parts ginger beer or ginger ale

Yield: One serving
Directions: Pour and serve over ice.

See, how easy that was?! Now you're ready to sip (or swig) your Wild Donkey Buck bottoms up! However, do heed caution with your rum bucks, matey. I wouldn't want you to become three sheets to the wind!

And speaking of "bottoms up", while visiting the Caneel Bay Resort, I just happened to catch these naughty island donkeys going buck wild!

Yay or neigh, a Wild Donkey Buck?

Cheers!
