Was watching boondocks on (adult swim),
and it was the episode with A Pimp Named Slickback.

So bored internets searches turned up a drink
by the same name:

A Pimp Named Slickback

Ingredients:
1 oz triple sec
1/2 oz white rum
1 oz lime juice
1 splash amaretto almond liqueur

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a wine goblet with
a sugared rim. Hold up to light and
swirl contemplatively.

Speaking as a Bartender ...

"Ewwwwww ..."

Hmmm ... especially if that's Roses Lime Juice (which would be my default ingredient from reading the recipe). Super-sweet Triple Sec, super-sweet Roses Lime Juice, super-sweet Amaretto, and just a half ounce of Rum to balance that all? Nice over-kill in sugaring the rim, too!

Now, if you stuck that stuff in a blender and added a scoop of ice cream, it might make an OK cream drink, but whooo ... too much sweet for my taste! Heck, I used to be a Gimlet drinker, and that's sweet with 2.5 oz of Gin to .5 oz Roses Lime Juice, and this is almost the reverse of sweet to non-sweet ingredients ... where the heck did you find that?

It does say Rose's lime juice, I accidentally left that bit out.

Wow ... that would be more appropriate on "DiabeticShock.com" or somesuch! Of course, one of the key concepts that was drilled into us at Bartending School is that you never question the customer's taste, and if the drink's not going to harm them, make it and smile ... but this one's gotta be hard to drink.

You'd think it'd be more appropriate in a big purple PIMP CUP though.

.. officially, at work, my team's name is based off an 80s movie.

Unofficially, we are A Team Named Slickback.
