Boozy Banana

We recently received a bottle of Blue Chair Bay Banana Rum and looked to the Blue Chair Bay Recipe Page for a little “rumspiration”! Everything looked delicious, of course, but one recipe stood out and so we gathered the ingredients and gave it a try. The recipe? A Boozy Banana – easy, cold and tropically delicious! Excuse me while I go make another…

Jack Frost Cocktail

Touted as the winter version of the Piña Colada on Homemade Hooplah, we thought we needed to give this one a try. Yes, we’d rather be sipping a Piña Colada in the middle of the summer or on a beautiful tropical beach somewhere, but the weather outside is decidedly non-tropical at the moment. So, either we whine about it until the warmth returns (actually, I probably will anyway), or try and make the best of it. After one (or two) of these, we might not notice the cold as much…

This is a sweet drink. If you like less sweetness, try cutting the coconut crème in half and replacing with coconut milk.

After a little bit of “research” on the amounts of each ingredient, we came up with the following recipe. Tweek the amounts to create the best blending of tastes for your palate!

Skinny Piña Colada

In light of our recent “skinny” cocktail recipe postings, we were asked by Facebook friend Sherri if we could include a recipe for a Skinny Piña Colada. Certainly, we thought, we could find a way to take a bite out of the calories of this high calorie coconut creme and juice based cocktail whose taste takes us right to the islands?

Well, in this recipe, we did decrease the calorie level from 278.5 for one serving of our regular Piña Colada Recipe to 142 calories per serving in the following Skinny Piña Colada! For just a little added kick – add a .5 oz dark rum floater for an additional 32 calories :)

Spooky Rum Punch

Bloody good and easy to make, this deep red concoction will have your guests screaming with delight.

Halloween is just around the corner and we seem to get a lot of requests for rum themed Halloween cocktails. We ran across this one recently and set out to give it a try. After a bit of searching, were able to find the black sanding sugar, but if you have trouble finding it, you can easily make your own using this recipe. The black licorice strings were harder to find, and although a black licorice spider looks really cool (and is edible!) we opted for a plastic one that we dangled from a bamboo pick.

Optionally, you can float some dark rum on the top, which sounds cool, but ours just kept blending with the rest of the cocktail, so we ended up just adding 2 oz. of gold rum and foregoing the dark rum floater.

A Few Fun Options:

Dominican Coco Loco

Since we will be visiting the Dominican Republic very soon, we started looking for rum drinks and cocktails from the area to try while we’re there. One that we’ve run across a few times is the Coco Loco. Although there are several versions floating around the internet, this one was identified as a Dominican Coco Loco. We’ll do a little research while down there and let you know if this is close. Even if we nailed the recipe though, I have a sneaky suspicion it may just taste even better served in a coconut on a beautiful beach in the Dominican Republic sunshine…

Hummingbird

Recently a few of our readers asked if we had a recipe for a Hummingbird – a frozen rum cocktail that they enjoyed while vacationing in Jamaica. We hadn’t, but it sounded interesting, so we started searching for one. We ran across several of them – all slightly different and then made just a few small adjustments of our own. So – here’s our version of the Hummingbird. Sorry we can’t provide the beautiful Jamaican beach to go with it!
