Just checked. Nope, the Pyrat hasn't gone bad.

About the best rum and coke I've ever had.

I'll be starting my batches of loki next weekend, starting with traditional and traditional using orange blossom honey. For those looking for orange blossom honey (or any other honey), it's getting rare and expensive due to the bee die-offs. Bought three new cases of bottles to fill.

I'm looking for suggestions for recipes using cherry, stawberry, blackberry, coconut, banana, chocolate, Jamaican rum, and root beer extracts.

I think the coconut, banana, and rum extracts might make a good combo, along with the root beer and vanilla (root beer float). Cherry, stawberry, and blackberry for a Very-Berry blend.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

And yes Bacardi, I'm not Molden. Plank for ye.

The bottle in the picture will have to wait for opening weekend before it is tested, but that doesn't mean that others can't be procured and checked for quality.

And it will be tested... a lot... by me
I may even share the spoils of my victory... maybe

mpullen, does this mean you intend to entire as well? I would like to see as many competitors as possible personally
The more entered, the more I beat and the more I get to gloat when it's all over.

*definitely plan to be testing/tasting that rum when it's over though Zaubon...*

No, doubt I'll enter.  Of course, if I'm not needed as a Judge this year (Tom/Andi let me know), I'll go for the gusto and enter my meager entries. I can only hope for a fluke.

[Zaubon]

With two bottles of Pyrate in stock, I don't see any major obstacles to you having a taste. Of course as the loser, you'll have to wait until the winner has her share, and of course all the other rum drinkers in camp will have first dibs before the loser gets his taste. If I run out of Pyrate, I think there's still some Sailor Jerry left over from last year. If not that, I'm sure we can find some Potters for the loser.

[*Teach*]

Having rum left over when Bicardi and I were both around should be an indication of the nastiness of it.
And as for losing, I think not.
It also occurs to me that while you are putting up a bottle you are losing a small thing to you as a non-drinker. I believe that you need to bet something... better... something as near and dear to your heart as my rum is to mine... suggestions?

*rum means a lot to me, good times... goooood times*

[Zaubon]

Finally... competition
Goddess... of Loki? Truly?
Perhaps.
However, The Lord of the Loki shall remain undefeated

a wager mayhap?

*I would even bet a bottle of rum... Pyrate even*

I was attempting to match the suggested wager. An alternative will require consideration.

[*Teach*]

I understand that my friend, but I realized that while I am putting up something that has value above the cost monetarily you would not be out anything more than a purchased item.
When I made my wager offer with Lady Jess, I knew that the loss of Pyrate would at least touch a nerve... but you my non-drinking friend... would only be out cash and a trip to the store.

*I admit that not everyone is as much of a rum lover as me*

Too bad I won't be there for the challenge.  But I must say, Teach, if all your Loki is as good as the "Teach's Piss" then you are definately the Master!  I've been guarding my last few drops with a vengence!

By the way, you guys have created a monster in Capt. Sin.  He's making more!   

[*Teach*]

Heh... I should franchise that stuff... start getting commisions on people drinking
Now That would be awesome!
Sad that you all won't be there for the challenge tho...

*you could have helped me drinking my newly won rum*

Ole Capt. a monster huh???  Guess we will see for ourselves..........  Do I feel another story coming on.........?

[*Teach*]

It's a shame the Capt. won't be here... it would be fun competition
Of course I would still win, but it would be fun

Do we have judges yet?

*i wanna judge a rum contest one day...*

[*Teach*]

Bought the fixin's for some more almond and some more lokiberry.
I should have about 10 jars each of those, plus I should have 10-15 teach's piss (butterrum) and (hopefully) 5 cinnamons
Just for advance information... for those who always seem interested in my jars... dunno why

*i finally figured out how to make loki taste like rum... and then realized that there was no real purpose in that at all lol*

[*Teach*]

Hmmm... where have all me challengers gone?
have all conceded already?

*more rum for me...*
