You gotta be careful with the Dark & Stormy's cause if you get the proportions wrong it can end up tasting like dirt.

We even ordered them at one of the restaurants on island and I have to say it is an acquired taste even when done correctly.

From the not 1000 calories/Keep It Simple file. Travels well to the beach.

> pour equal parts Cruzan Citrus rum, cranberry juice, & Ting over ice, squeeze lime in on top.

If you, like me, say “Yuk! Grapefruit juice!”, well it doesn’t taste like that Tropicana stuff.
A little sweet, a little tart, with only a hint of that grapefruity kinda taste, lightly carbonated = Jamaican sunshine and cool breeze in a bottle.

What is Ting. Is it like Tang?

Gromit · Post by **Gromit** » Tue Jan 13, 2009 4:25 pm

No. It's a lightly sweetened grapefruit soda.

From their web site:

Ting soda and Diet Ting Soda is made from 100% Jamaican grapefruit with no preservatives. It is a lightly carbonated citrus drink.

You'll find it in small green bottles with a green and yellow label.

Here's a link to their web site:

Ting and Tang totally different ... both DELICIOUS mixers

That Ting concoction sounds amazing. When all else fails, Tang made with orange rum over lots of ice is delish.

Ting tang walla walla bing bang....

Other than quick runs to the doctor and the pharmacy and dinner out with you (THANK GOODNESS) last night, you know I've been trapped in this house pretty much since Thursday with a sick boy! Yep, I am a little over the edge. But thoughts of sun, sand, tang and ting and rum make me happy

It ain't de ilons without Painkillers and it ain't a PK without a dash of freshly ground nutmeg on top.

Gromit

Your list is a hit at my office, do we start at the top and drink each one

You can go to foxysbar.com and download their drink recipes. They don't give the exact amount so there is room to experiment. Try starting at the top and working your way down the list. It proves quite interesting!

Some of us have Squirt here stateside which is also a grapefruit soda (pop for those of us here in the midwest.)
