Mary Beth - I just looked at my receipts from Plaza Extra this past April - Ting was $1.27 a bottle. That was on STX but it should be about the same on STT.

I think I pay about the same here in Jersey.
Thanks, was just wondering.

Just in case folks aren't sure what to drink, post your favorite rum drink recipe here. Then, go mix one up, relax and try to go to your happy place.

There is NO need to be grumpy when we're discussing the most fabulous place in the world. So, if you're grumpy, I suggest rum. Lots of it.

Unless you're an angry drunk.

With that:

Cruzan Voodoo Juice
Ingredients
1 oz Orange rum (Cruzan)
1 oz Banana rum (Cruzan)
1 oz Coconut rum (Cruzan)
1 oz Pineapple rum (Cruzan)
1 1/2 oz Cranberry juice
1 1/2 oz Orange juice
1 1/2 oz Pineapple juice
1/2 oz Dark rum (Cruzan)

Mixing Instruction
Pour over ice in a hurricane class. Float dark rum on top and serve.

Lulu...from one Michgan girl to another...cheers to you!!!

That's the thing about Michiganders. It takes a lot to piss us off. And if you do, we'll probably hug and drink a Stroh's together to make up!

the Ting at Pine Peace is like $23 for a case of 24 if I remember correctly... sounded like a bargain at the time.

Tang-O

Tang and as much Orange Rum as you can tolerate.

Add vanilla ice cream and blend and it's a Tang-O-Dream(sicle)!

A don't forget the ever popular Jell-O shots!

It's surprisingly good!

I'm sad to report that is called the Daiquiri, (the original)they kinda stole the name & ruined it a bit with the current frozen concoctions.

I like the frozen ones but I think you know what I mean.

We need to rename it..

I am totally making that Hemingway drink tonight. Just one more thing I needed to know before I move to Key West and become the writer I was meant to be. (OK, I really shouldn't compare myself to Hemingway, but I'm pretty sure I could win a Pulitzer if I had an awesome writing studio in paradise like he did.)
