It is proudly my own creation and has been named by me...
So I begin with the name and its meaning.
Welcome to the
"PK" - named after the lead character in my favorite book of all
time - "The Power of One" by Bryce Courtnay - and has a double
entendre to boot. It can mean Piccaninny* Kaya (Little Room/Out House/Toilet)
or Piss Koop, from the Afrikaans, meaning pee (Urine) head or in vernacular "Drunk"(from
Pissed) Head.
The “P.K.”:
Make a “Malawi
Shandy”***
Add One Table spoon (0.5 Ounce) of Roses Lime Juice
Add 1 Shot (2 Ounces) of Vodka
Add 3 More Dashes of Angostura bitters
DO NOT SHAKE or STIR – Let it settle as you sip.
The Actual Cocktail is simple and an alcoholic variation on
the virgin sundowner “Malawi Shandy”
***Version 1: (as used in Malawi, central Africa) **
Use a tall glass, half to 3/4 filled wich ice
Add half a glass of [bottled] lemonade to half a glass of [bottled] ginger ale
Add a dash of Angostura bitters and a slice of lemon and sitr.
***Version 2: (as described on a british cocktail website) **
Use a tall glass, half to 3/4 filled wich ice
Add half a glass of soda water to
half a glass of ginger ale
Add a dash of Angostura bitters and a slice of lemon and stir.
CHEERS!
*PICCANINNY, or Pickaninny,
a word applied originally by the negroes of the West
Indies to their babies. It is adapted either from Span, pequeño,
small, or Port, pequenino, very small. The word spread with the slave
trade to America, and has
since been adopted in Australia
and in South Africa.
- 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Piccaninny
