RuMother (pronounced rum-mother) is a cocktail invented in early 2009 that has become popular in Brisbane, Australia. It consists of a blend of Mother Energy Drink and Bundaberg Rum.
Origin and history
Accounts of the invention of the RuMother vary according to the amount of RuMothers that have been consumed. One account claims that the drink just magically appeared in their hand, although recollection of the events are quite blurred.
The exact origin of the drink can be traced back to that of a quiet visionary named Mike McPherson, who, upon looking for a way to kick off a social outing with a bang and have the stamina to party into the night, conjured up the RuMother in March of 2009.
Popularity
This drink was viewed by some as comedic, but once that first taste was had, any doubt was quickly replaced by awe. Comments such as "wow" and "that tastes great" are what first time triers of the RuMother say.
It is a popular drink for kick starting a night out as the large quantity of alcohol in each drink gets the drinker well on their way quite quickly. The effects of the Mother allow the drinker to keep on partying well into the night.
Health Warning
Due to the nature of the mixer (Mother), consumption should be limited to 5 standard drinks per day to ensure that the maximum recommended daily intake of one 500ml can of Mother is not exceeded. Consumption above this amount has been known to have side effects including, inability to sleep followed by inability to then wake up. Commonly referred to as the Rum effect over the Mother effect.
Variations
Due to the recommended limitation of one 500ml can of Mother per day, the amount of Rum in the RuMother can be increased to equal or exceed that of the Mother content. This variant is sometimes referred to as the "Holy RuMother of god" as it has the ability to get the drinker intoxicated in a very short amount of time.
