Mojito
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
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. Both drinks are standard-bearers for rum, but both also share a common ancestor - the most iconic rum drink of all, the Daiquiri. A simple rum sour, the Daiquiri is perhaps the single most important ...
Queen’s Park Swizzle
Created in Trinidad, constructed with Guyanese rum and a heavy dose of Trinidad's most famous product, it's awfully hard to turn down a Queen's Park Swizzle. 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. In bars all over the US, if they have a strong rum selection, they probably have a ...
Mai Tai
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 ...

Please visit us at your convenience at http://www.SkeeterzRumBar.com – and you may find us trying some variations of your recipes.

My niece, Kelly Earle, used to work with you andfor Thanksgiving she made one of your fabulous holiday warm rum recipes to everyone’s complete delight! Therefore, I pose this question to you: We’re vacationing in Hawaii and want a recipe for the perfect Mai Tai. There’s some terrible recipes out there, and after trying a few of your recipes, we only trust the dood! Can you help us soon?
Karen: The sad state of affairs in the world today has Hawaii almost entirely devoid of places that serve a proper Mai Tai. While I’ve only been to Oahu, my many agents tell me that Hawaii may be one of the worst places to get a Mai Tai if you want a real one.
The real one, of course, is the original Trader Vic recipe, found here: http://rumdood.com/2009/12/14/cocktail-recipe-mai-tai/
great to see new things………..cheersssssssssss.
