Yellow Submarine

On this day in 1964, the Beatles made their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. Although it wouldn't be until a few years later that "Yellow Submarine" was released, the Yellow Submarine cocktail is a fitting tribute to The Boys From Liverpool.

Three cheers for the British Invasion!

Yellow Submarine

2 oz. vodka

1 oz. white rum (but spiced is nice too)

1 oz. banana liqueur (or banana syrup)

Casting (granulated) sugar for the rim of the glass

Mix all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and add ice. Shake until frosted and pour into a festive 4 oz. martini glass with a sugared rim. Garnish with a cherry or pineapple wedge.
