Sailor Jerry
Sailor Jerry is actually a type of rum, rather than a cocktail, but the rum is named after someone, so it gets included in this list. Interestingly, the person behind the rum is Norman Keith Collins. He was an American tattoo artist and quite a famous one at that.
He was most well-known for his sailor tattoos, which is where the Sailor Jerry nickname comes from.
You could use this rum in most rum cocktails, but the most famous approach is the Sailor Jerry and cola. As I’m sure you can guess, that cocktail is simply a rum and coke that is made using Sailor Jerry rum.
The cocktail should ideally be made using two parts of rum to one part of cola. This is a bit different than your typical rum and coke, but it is worth trying at least once. The ratio of rum to cola gives you the chance to fully enjoy the flavors of the rum without the coke drowning them out.
