Frozen Mango Daiquiri

Mango and rum just naturally seem to compliment each other (see Mango Mojito, Mango Colada, Spicy Mango Daiquiri, Rum and Mango Salsa, Mango Hurricane, Papaya Mango Rum Float). While perusing the shelves of the local liquor store, we found a mango fruit puree drink mix and thought we’d give it a try in a frozen daiquiri. So easy, cold and delicious! Definitely a go to drink when you need something cold and mangoey!

Frozen Painkiller

We ordered our first Frozen Painkiller from The Longboard on St. John a few years ago after a great day exploring the beautiful sandy beaches on the north shore. Painkillers have been one of our go-to favorites for a long, long time (find out more about this popular drink here) – ever since we tried our first one on St. John in the 90’s. However, the Frozen Painkiller we were served at The Longboard was something special. Cold, creamy and so refreshing. We’re not sure what their exact recipe is, but we came home and attempted to make our own. They’ll never be quite as special as the one’s there (our view is not quite the same!), but it certainly reminds us of great times in the islands. The recipe below makes one tall drink but can be easily doubled.

  • 6 oz Pineapple Juice

  • 1.5 oz Coconut Creme
  • 3 oz Rum (Authentic Painkillers are made with Pusser's Rum)
  • 1 – 2 c Ice (Or, substitute frozen pineapple for some of the ice. It does make the Painkiller thicker and more filling, but it tastes good!)

Warm Rum Mocha

It’s cold. Where we live, the weather is more often warm (or hot!), but we still get a day or two of downright chilliness this time of year.

We were going to put together a new tropically delicious rum drink today, but opted instead for a drink that will warm ya down to your cold toes. We’re fans of warm mocha coffee drinks and thought that adding some rum (and a few other ingredients) might make for a good drink for this weekend. If you’re stuck in some cold weather right now, we hope you’ll enjoy this Warm Rum Mocha.

Santa Sauce


Sometimes milk and cookies just don’t cut it. Here’s a recipe for a toasty, aromatic beverage that will warm you all the way down to your Christmas socks. I hear that even Santa is asking for a cup of this in lieu of milk. He says you can still serve the cookies though… You might want to double the batch, in case you want to join Santa in a glass or two!

Frothy Fallwacker

Frothy Fallwacker. Hmmm. Say that three times fast!

Slightly resembling the taste of a Bushwacker, the Frothy Fallwacker is lighter than a Bushwacker and perfect as a before or after dinner treat.

Add a small dollop of whipped cream if you wish. Heck, calories don’t count during the holidays, do they?

Caribbean Rice & Peas

If you’re like me, the inability to travel to the islands right now has left us thirsting not only for beautiful blue water, warm sand and cold rum drinks, but also Caribbean cuisine! While we wait for a time when we can again visit our favorite islands, we’ve been cooking up some of our favorite Caribbean dishes in an attempt to satisfy our Caribbean cravings.

This popular Caribbean side dish is mostly remembered from our time on Jamaica, but was served as an accompaniment to dishes on many other islands that we’ve visited – each with a slightly different taste! Pidgeon peas are traditionally used in some regions, but kidney beans are most commonly used in Jamaica, and apparently both peas and beans are called peas in Jamaica!

Serve a warm bowl of this Caribbean Rice & Peas with Jamaican Jerk Chicken and wash it down with some Authentic Rum Punch! You might also enjoy these recipes for Caribbean Roti and Jamaican Beef Patties.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add onion, garlic, allspice, thyme, Scotch bonnet, ginger, salt, pepper and coconut milk.
  • Bring to a slow boil, then reduce heat. Cover and let simmer for about an hour.
  • Add rice, then continue to simmer for about 30 minutes until rice is soft and fluffy.
  • Remove from heat and let stand for about 10 minutes. Add additional salt and pepper if needed for taste.
  • Remove the Scotch Bonnet Pepper, fluff with a fork and serve.

Strawberry Shortcake Shooter

On the Blue Chair Bay Rum website we spotted a delicious shooter recipe called Strawberry Shortcake.

Well that little shot of goodness was calling our name, so we set out to make a few. We made a quick run to the liquor store and found the strawberry liqueur, but were not able to score the Blue Chair Bay Coconut Spiced Rum Cream. Bummer. They did, however, have Pineapple Rum Cream, so we made a game time decision and grabbed it.

Anyway… using the Pineapple Rum Cream instead of Coconut Rum Cream obviously changes the taste of the shooter some, but it was very good anyway! We volunteer to try it again someday when the Coconut Rum Cream is back in stock.

Pineapple Mojito

Pineapple and rum are frequently paired together. Think of the popular Caribbean rum drink, Bahama Mama, or a Painkiller, or perhaps a Caribbean Rum Punch. The combination of pineapple and a good rum make for a decidedly tropical tasting beverage.

We’ve always been fans of a good Perfect Mojito, and have been known to post a mojito variation or two (check out this Pear Mojito, Mango Mojito or Zesty Orange Mojito), so it was only natural to try a Pineapple Mojito. It took a try or two to figure out the best combination, but we think you’ll enjoy this recipe. Cheers!

Oro Huba

We were recently contacted by a Rum Therapy follower named Janet, who wondered if we could post a recipe for a drink she had enjoyed in Aruba called an “Oro Huba”. She listed the ingredients, but was unsure of how much of each ingredient to include when making the cocktail and she wondered if we could help her out.

After doing a little research, we came across a picture of an Oro Huba, but could not find an actual recipe anywhere – so, we decided to put one together using the ingredients given: passionfruit, mango syrup, vanilla elixer (extract), coconut rum (Malibu) and dark rum (Bacardi 8).

We searched high and low for an actual passionfruit, but came up short, so we used this passion fruit juice. We used Monin Mango Syrup, which we recently used for this delicous Spicy Mango Daiquiri and substituted Cruzan Aged Dark Rum for the Bacardi 8 as we didn’t have Bacardi 8 in the cabinet.

It took a few tries to come up with this combination, but hey, we’re all about the “research”. Janet, let us know if we came close to the taste that you so fondly remember and the next time we get to Aruba, we’ll most definitely find and taste a true Aruban Oro Huba. By the way, according to the Visit Aruba website, popular belief links Aruba’s name with the Spanish phrase “oro huba” which means “there was gold”.

Although Flamingos are not native to Aruba, we had to add a Flamingo to the glass as many photos you see of Aruba contain beautifully vibrant Flamingos. Apparently, they are only found on Flamingo Beach, Aruba, which will remain on our list of beaches to visit on a future visit to Aruba!

Oro Huba

Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 1/4 c Passionfruit Juice
  • 1/2 oz Mango Syrup (plus a little extra to drizzle on top)
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract (the recipe called for vanilla elixir, which appears to be the same as vanilla extract)
  • 1 oz Coconut Rum (the original ingredients call for Malibu Coconut Rum)
  • 2 oz Dark Rum (the original ingredients call for Bacardi 8. We substituted Cruzan Aged Dark Rum as we didn't have Bacardi 8. We'd love to try it again when we have a bottle of Bacardi 8 to compare the taste.)
  • Ice (use the smallest amount possible so you get a nice frozen drink, but don't dilute the delicious taste. We used about 1/2 c.)
  • Dollop Whipped Cream (optional – for garnish)

Jamaican Beef Patties

Jamaica’s cuisine is a diverse combination of delicious flavors resulting in culinary delight for those who relish different spices and flavors. Read more about some Jamaican dish specialties in our post 10 Things You Really Shouldn’t Miss in Jamaica!

One of the dishes that we nearly overlooked while spending time in Jamaica was a Jamaican Beef Patty. Sometimes called a Sunshine Patty for the yellow tone of the crust due to the turmeric used, this tasty pocket of goodness is traditionally filled with a ground beef mixture. We also found patties filled with other meats, such as chicken and pork as well as fish and vegetables. Frequently eaten as a snack, lunch or an appetizer, we found them delicious and filling enough to eat for dinner – perhaps with a side of rice and beans. You might even want to wash them down with a rum drink made with Appleton Rum or a cold Red Stripe. Try this recipe for an Authentic Rum Punch!

This was our first time putting them together and although we hope to try them again soon to get the crust a little flakier and thinner, we devoured them all in no time. If you end up with extra, freeze them for a quick snack at a later time.

Ready to bake!

Jamaican Beef Patties

Servings: 10

Ingredients

Beef Patty Pastry Dough

Beef Filling

Instructions

Preparing the Pastry

  • Add the flour, salt, turmeric and butter to a mixing bowl with a hook attachment and mix until crumbly.
  • Add in the ice cold water and mix until doughy.
  • Roll the dough into a ball, wrap with cling wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Preparing the Beef Mixture

  • In a large skillet, cook the beef until crumbly and brown.
  • Add the onion and scotch bonnet and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • Add the beef cube to the boiling water and stir until dissolved.
  • Add to the beef mixture along with the paprika, allspice, breadcrumbs and Worcestershire. Simmer on low until liquid is absorbed, then let the mixture cool completely.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Roll about half the dough on a very lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin.
  • Once the dough is about 1/16th inch thick, use a 6 inch bowl or plate to cut about 5 – 6 inch circles of dough. Repeat for the remaining half of the dough for 10 circles total.
  • Lay circles out and place about 3 tbsp of cooled beef mixture on one half of the circle.
  • Fold the dough over the beef mixture until the edges meet and use a little water or milk on the edge to seal the patty.
  • Score the edges of the patties with a fork, then poke the fork into the patties several time to create air holes.
  • Place the patties on a cookie sheet and bake 25 minutes until golden in color.
