Black River Punch

Here´s another interesting cocktail i stumbled upon, the Black River Punch.

This cocktail was at first an un-namd Planter´s Punch variant. The Planter´s Punch is as we know based on the old rhyme - 1 of sour, 2 of sweet, 3 of strong, 4 of weak…and with that formula you can make all kinds of [...]

Samoan Typhoon

Here´s a strong and spicy rum drink from Sippin´Safari, it was created at the Hawaiian Village motel and restaurant in Tampa in 1969 by chef Joe King Sui in true tiki style and ambiance back in the golden tiki days.

The drink is a mix of dark or aged Puerto Rican and Myers rums,vodka, [...]

Wrath of the Zombie

Happy Halloween everybody, here´s a drink to wake the living dead! – or at least to make YOU become like a zombie if you make too many…

It´s a variety of the classic 1934 Don the Beachcomber’s Zombie with a blend of aged and overproof rums, plus rhum agricole and then cinnamon, grapefruit and lime..

I`ve had [...]

Easter Sour with colored egg ice balls

Easter is around the corner…so let´s toast with a sour that is chilled with colored egg ice balls…

I tried Camper´s fabulous ice egg experiment or how to make colored egg ice balls – yeah i still wanna be a kid sometimes! and booze bloggers are always into some nerdy stuff or another.

It´s [...]

ILE DE LA MARTINIQUE

It´s time to visit my sunny agricole rums again, not that i haven´t but it was a while since i made a drink with only rhum agricole because usually i mix my rhum agricole with molasses rum because i like how they get together.

If you wanna know what rhum agricole is you can read [...]

A DUST OF NUTMEG

An interesting fragrant spice and an old favorite tiki drink

The fragrance of nutmeg is very special, i cannot even really describe it – its spicy-woody and fresh, nutty and very satisfying.

Most often i connect nutmeg with either christmas drinks or libations from the caribbean both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Nutmeg and carrot [...]

MIXING THROUGH GROG LOG 8 – Blue Reef

More blue drinks?

I thought it was enough with the two i made last time but Grog Log is calling for yet another one so i have to obey;-)

The Blue Reef is the second drink on the same page as Blue Hawaii in the Log. Its the Bum`s take on the Blue Hawaii [...]

MxMo XLVII: Punch

I have a feeling of slipping in on a banana peel here, i forgot it was monday yesterday..

The topic is punch. There are many different kinds of punch and the host Hobson`s Choice states that “There aren’t really any specific limitations on this month’s subject”  and “Keep in mind that we are at [...]
