Take to the High Seas with Limited Edition Sailor Jerry Cocktail Menu

Holly Harris | 2nd February 2018

The Rose

Sailor Jerry and Banyan Bar & Kitchen in Manchester have partnered to celebrate the birthday of Norman ‘Sailor Jerry’ Collins. The limited-edition cocktail menu is available until the 4th of February…

Norman ‘Sailor Jerry’ Collins was an American tattoo artist known for his skill of tattooing sailors; hence his nickname, Sailor Jerry.

You’re probably familiar with the iconic image printed on Sailor Jerry spiced rum bottles, of a pin-up, vintage style hula girl playing a ukulele.

The reason behind the hula girl imagery goes back to Norman ‘Sailor Jerry’ Collins time spent in Hawaii where he built his legacy.

His Hawaiian tattoos are said to represent paradise on earth, away from the real world and void of any dishonor and  immorality.

To celebrate the tattoo legends birthday, Banyan Bar and Kitchen have concocted three delicious, edgy cocktails with a Sailor Jerry rum base.

The Rose

A floral twist on the classic rum punch. With a prominent vanilla flavour and notes of lime and ginger, This cocktail is the perfect balance of sweet and sour.
