Werther’s Dirigible
Quite by accident the other night a friend discovered that a White Russian in which you substitute vanilla rum for the vodka tastes exactly like Werther’s Original caramels. I showed the drink to Cameron this afternoon and he dubbed the butterscotchy concoction a Werther’s Dirigible. I like it.
Try it yourself: 1 part vanilla rum, 2 parts coffee liqueur, a splash of half and half (over ice), but be aware that they are unbelievably heavy on the stomach and you can generally only finish one in a single sitting. For an even sweeter variation, substitute vanilla Silk (the soy milk brand) creamer for the half and half.

Rum, rum, rum, rum. I love it.
Until I get a job, my entire alcohol supply is limited to a single gigantic bottle of Captain Morgan’s original spiced, which saved strictly for drunken Mario Party.
But this will go on my to-do list for things to try after I have money for more than frozen pizzas and turkey sandwiches.
