This is more of a “definition” entry than a recipe. A definition that we had to ask for last night when an acquaintance asked the bartender for a “Skinny Pirate.”
Sometimes a drink is better known by its actual ingredients – the Skinny Pirate is something you don’t hear often, but it’s a classic go-to when it comes to girly drinks.
Skinny Pirate = Captain and Diet Coke?
The Skinny Pirate is the friendly concoction of rum, often Captain, and diet coke. No need to be a fancy pants at the bar and call it a Skinny Pirate – we think that’s kind of silly actually when most people only know of this drink as captain and diet; why complicate the situation?
Whatever you choose to call it, the Skinny Pirate is certainly a fan favorite of girly drinkers everywhere.
Skinny Pirate Ingredients:
- Rum
- Diet Cola
Skinny Pirate Recipe:
Mix Rum and diet cola together; serve in chilled glass.
