"Mi General" is spanish for "My General" an affectionate way to mention Morazan. Drinkers usually toast this drink in name of posterity, because of Morazans last words; "Posterity shall do us justice!" Pour in the Soda (Lemon Lime) and the Malibu first, then top with the Blue Curacao, stir and serve cold.

About Mi General

Mi General is a vibrant and tropical cocktail that brings together the exotic flavors of coconut rum and the citrusy zest of lemon-lime soda with the vivid hue and tangy sweetness of blue curaçao. This concoction creates a refreshing and visually striking drink, perfect for warm weather and lively gatherings. The coconut rum provides a smooth, creamy foundation, while the blue curaçao adds not only its distinct color but also a slightly bitter orange twist. Topped with lemon-lime soda, Mi General is both bubbly and invigorating, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy a balance of sweetness and tartness in their cocktails.

The origins of Mi General are not widely documented, but like many contemporary cocktails, it likely emerged from a creative desire to experiment with flavors and colors that evoke a sense of fun and relaxation. The use of coconut rum and blue curaçao suggests influences from tropical and beachside cocktail traditions, where vibrant colors and fruity notes are celebrated. This drink can be seen as a modern take on classic tropical cocktails, blending familiar ingredients in a novel way to create a refreshing experience that appeals to both the eyes and the taste buds. Whether enjoyed at a summer party or a casual get-together, Mi General captures the spirit of leisure and enjoyment.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Hurricane Glass, though any glass works!
