My drink:

You need a glass, ice and the rum of your choice.

Look at the ice and the glass.
Drink from the bottle

Hey Lulu:

I don't know if you can do this in your state but in PA we can order the Vanilla Rum from our liquor stores. They carry some of the flavors in stock but not the vanilla. I just make my monthly order and they call me when it's in. No surcharges or anything.

XOXO

I sort of made this punch up...it can be replicated, but never, ever, quite duplicated! I call it Suzy's Grog, here are the ingredients:

In 1 Gallon Plastic Jug, Combine:

Coco Lopez
Bluebird Punch (big can)
Cruzan Pineapple Rum (Lots)
Cruzan Vanilla Rum
Cruzan Dark/or 151 (if you dare) Rum
Cruzan Mango Rum

Shake Vigorously!
Do Taste Test...Tweak If Needed, Then Pour!

Big Thermal Mug w/Ice

To solve the problem of lumpy Coco Lopez, i open the can, stir it up a bit, then pour in a coffee cup and nuke it till it becomes watery. If you don't, you'll probably get cottage cheeze-like lumps in your punch, which look really gross. Use enough Bluebird Punch to make it a pretty color. If you dare, float 151 on the top and fill the straw with it. That makes that first hit a real kicker!

Nayda at Coki probably still remembers my grog...if she can, that is!

Brugal rum with Pepsi and lime wedge makes me very happy-
It is a good earthy rum.
also the Flor de Cana rum -
good enough to sip on it's own...

Sacrilege!

Dark & Stormy - Goslings Black Seal Rum and Barritt's Ginger Beer with a splash of Angostura Bitters

(We'll use Cruzan Black Strap too in a pinch)

Also Cubra Libra - Havana Club or Mount Gay Rum, Pepsi and a generous portion of well squeezed lime wedges. Havana Club Rum is embargoed, so you need to get that in the BVIs!
Rick, how do you feel about Pusser's?
This pretzel is making me thirsty...

They were serving Blue Sea when we arrived. A combination of coconut rum and Hypnotiq. I like to use Hypnotiq mixed with red wine and fruit juices. Makes a great sangria.

We keep it simple usually Vodka mixed with some juice. Vodka and Ting thats a classic, squirt works fine but not as grapefruity. Probably could just add some grapfruit juice and add some to the squirt and get about the same taste.

Jeez a little drink obbsesive there gromit :lol: :lol: :lol:
No really thanks. thats an awesome list will print it tonight. May have to try that Voodoo next trip. Have a feeling after a couple of those I could be poked over and over and over and not feel a thing :lol:

No mixers: 1 part Cruzan Coconut, 1 part Cruzan Banana, 1 part Cruzan Pineapple. Over ice with a squeeze of lime. Put in blender. RRRRRRR! It's good. Best bet is to pre-mix the 3 bottles, then it is just a matter of pouring, squeezing and blending. Oh, and stay where you are. We don't want to see you out on the roads like that.

On the lighter side, Cruzan Coconut, seltzer and lime.
