Haha Trent likes a girly drink, look at that Sidewinder Fang lol! It doesn't match it's name at all.

The recipe I found for the Sidewinder Fang is as follows:

1 1/2 oz. lime juice
1 1/2 oz. orange juice
1 1/2 oz. passion fruit syrup
3 oz. club soda
1 oz. demerara rum
1 oz. gold rum
Orange peel

Blend with 1/2 cup crushed ice for 10 seconds. Pour into a large snifter filled with ice cubes. Garnish with a long strip of orange peel.

Of course if you are making this at home you would want to skip the Orange Peel, and you would likely have trouble finding the Passion fruit syrup, in which case extra OJ is recommended. Looks like about 20% rum, or about 8% alchohol, giving it about 1 1/2 times the kick of your average beer. I wouldn't really classify it as a girly drink, but it ain't no Long Island Iced Tea.

This drink is actually a variation of the Cobra Fang, which uses light rum instead of Demerara rum, not much of a difference in alchohol content, but would give it a slightly different flavor. Another variation of the same drink is the King Cobra's Fang, which substitutes Bacardi 151 for the light rum, making it somewhere around 12% alchohol, or worth about two good beers.

You know: real men do have the freedom to drink whatever they like best and don't have to maintain a fake image by drinking stuff that's supposed to be "cool".

That's really neat dude. I wouldn't have guessed that these drinks really existed.

I came. I saw. I conquered. And sometimes get conquered.

It´s kinda standart drink, like dozen others, though personaly I do not like drinks with soda, but should be a good refreshing drink.

and with alot more style than beer
not to speak of a better taste and more alc

though I guess my favs will still be cuba libre, simple, fast to make and good.
