Rush Jet: Mega Man 9

The recent release of Capcom's retro-styled Mega Man 9 for the Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 had us reliving our youthful adventures with Mega Man, Dr. Light, and all of their friends. One that we've long been fond of is Rush, the robotic dog that can change into a spring, a surfboard, or even a jet. When we went looking for a cocktail to toast their new adventures with, we happily chanced on the Vera Rush, a mixture of dark rum and pineapple juice that is sweet and challenging, just like Mega Man. Forget Vera - this baby is the Rush Jet. 

Ingredients

• 2 ounces dark rum
• 1/2 ounce pineapple juice

Mixing Instructions:

Pour the rum in an Old-Fashioned glass, with a lump of ice, then float the pineapple juice on top.
