Happy Skipper

Happy Skipper cocktail

A deliciously simple highball that combines spiced rum and ginger ale. The vanilla and spice notes from the rum meld with the effervescent ginger to create a surprising flavor profile reminiscent of cream soda. The name is a playful nod to a Gilligan's Island riddle: The Captain inside Ginger makes a Happy Skipper.
