Notes:

Ouch. (again.) I found this drink quite by accident, looking for something else. Still, it looked so over-the-top I couldn’t help myself. Actually, it’s not as bad as it looks. The (cheap) tequila gives it a slightly unpleasant edge, but it’s otherwise just another girl-drink (it is intensely pink). Keep this in mind for bachelor-parties and other such events.

The original recipe called for 151 rum, I changed that to regular rum because I figured that might be overkill. Shouldn’t have bothered. Also, I adapted the recipe to one serving.

Rating:

- Has its uses, but I’m too old for them (unfortunately).

Recipe:

8 oz. Passion Fruit juice
1 1/2 oz. Overproof Rum (Bacardi 151 is canonical)
1/2 oz. Orange Curaçao
1 oz. Jamaican Rum
1 oz. Bourbon
2 dashes Angostura Bitters

Fill an enormous glass with crushed ice, pour in everything, and stir well. Garnish with pineapple, mint, a fun flower, and a wooden back-scratcher (hopefully the lack of a back-scratcher won’t affect the taste).

Notes:

I actually tried this cocktail last summer, after Kaiser Penguin’s first mention of it. The combination of the strong-tasting Jamaican rum and the bourbon is striking, and the combination of both with the passion fruit, a tropical staple, makes this a great drink to while away long summer afternoons in the sun.

Rating:

- Too summery and too many ingredients for the full four-star treatment, but a great drink nonetheless.

Recipe:

1 1/2 oz Vodka
4 oz Pineapple juice
1 oz Coconut Cream
1 slice Pineapple
1 Cherry

Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend well at high speed. Pour into a tiki mug, ideally, or else a tall glass. Garnish with pineapple slice and cherry.

Recipe:

1 oz. Rum Cream Liqueur
1 oz. Coffee Liqueur
1 oz. Milk
1/2 oz. Strawberry Syrup
1/2 Banana
1 Cup Crushed Ice

Throw everything in the blender and blend well until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.

Notes

Drink introduced to me in Jamaica, and perfect for enjoying a few of while sitting by the caribbean. If you don’t have Rum Cream Liqueur, Bailey’s works almost as well.

Rating

- The blender, whole fruit and large volumes of ice make this a “once or twice in the summer-only” drink.
