Keep it foamy! A good beer pour should include one-half to an inch of foam. This not only looks good but can add a subtle creaminess. ~former mixologist. Lol, BOL!

Sounds quite a hummer for the summer Anaya, I shall copy and paste it into my notes, I’m sure it will go down very smooth at an evening BBQ, cheers for that!

Heard of "The Hummer" ice cream drink, cocktail. 3-5 ice cubes 1½ ounces of light rum Bacardi 1½ ounces Kahlúa coffee-2 scoops vanilla ice cream half-and-half with a few drops of vanilla! Walla

A mixologist Sounds good to me Anaya, never skimp on the main ingredients either, methinks this Andy guy in my poem is a dodgy character, maybe Mandy seen him sprinkle some Voodoo dust on the foam! all sorts of connotations go on in Limerick land, cheers David
