Peach Daiquiri

Oh my gosh this one is good. we like a peach or two each year when they are really in season, and after picking up a few really good looking ones from the store yesterday, we wondered about using them in a Daiquiri. There are a few recipes that sounded pretty good on the internet, but we opted for something easy and this recipe variation was just that. Cold and refreshing, it definitely tastes like summertime! Enjoy!

Dirty Pirate Poptails

Yesterday afternoon I had a fun photo shoot with a bunch of Dirty Pirates – argggg! Dirty Pirate Poptails that is!

Poptail is a term coined by the people behind a website called Endless Simmer. “Like popsicles? Love cocktails? What’s not to like about a pop-tail?” The temps outside are toasty, so we thought we’d mix up and freeze a batch and see if freezing rum actually worked and if they were really as good and refreshing as they look on Endless Simmer’s website. Let me tell ya – they are tasty little things and just great for a hot summer day – perhaps by the beach or pool. Do they freeze as had as water? No – so be sure to have a plate or napkin ready as you enjoy them.

Pssst, if you like root beer and rum, you may also like Creamy Root Beer & Rum Cocktails!

Banana Daiquiri

I had some great looking bananas on the counter yesterday and realized I hadn’t posted a recipe for a banana daiquiri yet. So, although it’s early in the morning, I assembled this recipe and snapped a few pics. And then I tried one. Just one, even though the first one tasted like another. Got to get some work done today!

Island Delight

Last weekend I ordered a delicious looking tropical concoction with rum that the bartender called an “Island Delight”. Despite attempts to get the exact recipe before leaving, he would only divulge that it contained OJ, Piña Colada Mix, Malibu Rum and Grenadine. We went back to the office and gave it a couple of “shots” and think we came up with a pretty tasty  mix.

Enjoy, ’cause after all, who couldn’t use a little Island Delight?

Dirty Banana

The first time I experienced a drink called the a Dirty Banana was in Jamaica after spending the day on a Cool Runnings Sail to Dunn’s River Falls. The sail offered endless pours of rum punch and to be honest with you, by the time someone ordered a Dirty Banana cocktail for me later that evening, I was nearly rummed out for the day. I know, what a lightweight. However, the lovely flavor of fresh banana mingled with dark rum and coffee flavored liqueur remained etched in my mind.

Jump to Recipe

Recently one of our Facebook friends asked if we could dig up a recipe for a Dirty Banana that she had enjoyed during a recent vacation to Jamaica. There were many recipes available on the web, but after a bit of testing and tweaking, we settled on the taste of the recipe below. We sprinkled the top of the drink with cinnamon, but allspice could be used as well as a floater of Tia Maria! Enjoy a taste of Jamaica, mon!

The Slimer

Still looking for a Halloween cocktail that you can serve when you have friends for dinner…er…I mean have friends over for dinner? (insert evil laugh…) You might enjoy this one called The Slimer. Now for those of  you who saw the original Ghostbusters movie from 1984, you probably will recall the cute little green thing made of ectoplasm who left a trail of slime everywhere he went. Anyway – this cocktail may be green, but it ain’t too slimy – thank goodness.

So – mix yourself up a batch this Halloween and prepare to be slimed (or to perhaps get slimed if you drink too many?)

The Perfect Mojito

What makes a perfect mojito? When you look on the web, there’s more mojito recipes than you can shake a muddler at.  So what is it? The type of rum used? The amount of mint? The setting?

I had my first mojito in an airport. I know – odd place, but it was in the Miami airport on a layover for a flight to the Caribbean. We were in the mood to get the Caribbean party started and walked past a Bacardi kiosk with a very long line of people waiting for the only drink they were fixing…a mojito. We thought with that long of line the tropical concoction must be good, so we pulled up and eagerly waited to give a mojito a try.

We watched as the bartenders meticulously muddled the mint and lime, added simple syrup and the rum, poured it into a tall glass, added a little club soda and garnished with a stick of sugarcane. After shelling out $12.00 for each drink, we grabbed ours and eagerly took our first whiff. Ahhh…so minty and fresh smelling. After one sip, we were hooked and ended up purchasing an additional one or two before heading for our flight.

We’ve tried many recipes for mojitos since that first taste of one in the airport and truthfully, many are really good. But for some reason, the taste of that first mojito is the one that will always be our favorite and reminds us every time of the excitement we feel when heading south for vacation and a little Rum Therapy…

Rum Glazed Spare Ribs

BBQ – Holiday Weekend – our house. We were in charge of the grub and drinks and started looking for something a little different. Cruzan Rum had posted a delicious looking Planter’s Punch recipe from St. Croix mixologist Jesse Card so we had the drink – what should we BBQ? We settled on a delectable looking rib recipe that called for rum and even though the recipe calls for the ribs to be cooked in the oven instead of on the grill, we finished them off with a few minutes on the grill for that good BBQ taste. We used Cruzan Black Strap in the rib recipe and well, it was a hit with the guests filling the house with an incredible deep rum aroma. Enjoy!

Rum Glazed Spare Ribs

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Trim excess fat off ribs and brush both sides with vegetable oil.
  • In a bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, cumin, pepper and salt.
  • Rub mixture evenly over ribs. Place ribs in a large roasting pan and pour in 1 cup water. 
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake until tender, 1 1/2 hours.
  • In a small pan, mix rum, sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove foil from roasting pan, pour off all but 1/2 cup of liquid in pan and pour rum mixture over ribs. Return pan to oven and continue baking, uncovered, turning ribs several times and basting with liquid in pan, until meat starts to pull away from bones and is very tender, about 1 hour. Add a little water as necessary to prevent scorching.
  • If desired, place them on the grill for a few minutes, basting with the liquid from the pan or BBQ sauce.
  • Let ribs rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Slice into individual portions and serve hot with barbecue sauce on the side, if desired.
