Sometimes I look at various things my friends have wrought and I am left dumbfounded….or on the floor, grabbing my stomach laughing….or on the ground in a parking lot.
This time it’s the floor, laughing…with some dumbfounded mixed in, as my friend, “Saxman”, sent me this:
Update: It occurs to me that I’ve actually seen this before, some time ago, but it still makes me laugh, so it gets to stay.

When the air gets a bit too warm and the beaches beckon, there are a few things that come to mind that must be had immediately. Loose-fitting clothes or tight bathing suits must be matched with sunscreen and some body of water. Friends must be gathered and all must enjoy some sort of cool, refreshing drink to calm the warm embrace of the sun. Few drinks are turned to in this time of need more often than the Mojito. Mojito 2 oz White Rum 1 oz Lime Juice .75 oz Simple Syrup 10 Mint Leaves 2 oz Soda Pour soda into a Collins glass and set aside. ...
Daiquiri 2 oz Rum .75 oz Lime Juice 1 tsp Sugar or .5 oz Simple Syrup Shake ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. In the world of rum there are iconic drinks and then there are ICONIC drinks. While most people may not be familiar with the Palmetto or the Twelve Mile Limit, just about everyone the world over knows of the Mai Tai and the Mojito.

The drink is so refreshing and delicious that in 1946 one Trader Vic declared the Queen's Park Swizzle to be "the most delightful form of anesthesia given out today." Sure, that was in 1946, but the recent resurgence of rum has seen a lot of incredible tropical drinks that were well-past their original heyday return with a vengeance.

Iconic rum drinks are numerous. From the daiquiri to the mojito to the omnipresent "Rum & Coke" (or Cuba Libre if you're going to do it properly), they're everywhere. In 1944 one of the most iconic rum cocktails of all, perhaps only dwarfed by the daiquiri, was introduced by Victor "Trader Vic" Bergeron. The flagship of all tiki drinks, it's just hard to beat a good Mai Tai. Mai Tai 1 oz Jamaican Rum 1 oz Martinician Rhum .5 oz Orange Curacao .75 oz Lime Juice .5 oz Orgeat .25 oz Simple Syrup Mix all ingredients and shake with ice. Strain over crushed ice, garnish with a lime ...
Rum 101 is a continuing series of posts on rum and rum cocktails Beating the summer heat is one of the top priorities for any person living outside of the Arctic Circle when the sun begins its months-long crusade to bake every person on the face of the planet. While we’re half-way through summer here in the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemispherists are still waiting for their summer, it seemed like a good idea to talk about six summer rum drinks to keep you cool and refreshed while in your bathing suit. Daiquiri 2 oz White Rum .75 oz Lime Juice .25 oz ...
