Naranjita Who says that drinking has to start at five o'clock?

It's probably pretty warm where you are today, and you could use a cold drink, right? I know, I know, you're not supposed to have alcohol or caffiene on hot days. Whatever! This is the Naranjita (via GourmetSleuth.com) a cool drink that will make you think of the Caribbean.

Naranjita

1 ounce light Puerto Rican rum
2-3 ounce ginger ale
1 ounce orange juice
orange slices for garnish
carambola (star fruit) for garnish

Combine all ingredients, pour over ice in a highball glass and garnish with orange slices and star fruit.
