 I plan to go to renndevous!
I also wore my Phin to TRF! It is on my pouch!
See you there!
I love coconut rum- over ice!

[mieljolie]

Would any of the Shiver like to get together one evening at RenDezvous?  I can promise St. Jimmy tunes & have a Frozen Concoction maker that is feeling neglected!

Mom and I will be at RenDezvous, too.  We'd love to meet up.  Now, to find the salt! 

BTW, we also wear our phins proudly. 

All this flavored rum.  Coconut or pineapple rum, hmmm... Can't decide which is better.  Maybe mix them together.  Pina colada is one of my favorite frozen drinks! 

[Taffy Saltwater]

It's up in the air as to whether or not I'll be attending RendDezvous.  *fingers crossed*

But all this talk of RUM has gotten me to thinking (dangerous, I know) about rum, boat drinks, and rum.  So --

What's your favorite sippin' rum: (Pyrate)
Mixing rum:  Black cherry (w/diet coke), among others
Favorite rum drink:   (Mai Tai)
Favorite rum drink recipe:

1-1/2 oz light rum  
1/2 oz dark rum
1/4 oz orgeat syrup
1/4 oz simple syrup
1/2 oz triple sec
juice of 1/2  - 1 lime (depending on the size & juiciness of said lime)

Shake w/ice; strain over fresh rocks.  This is an A1 special MaiTai & better than 90% of the MaiTai's I enjoyed in Hawaii.

I discovered Vanilla rum this season of TRF.  Mmmm, good!  

Black cherry sounds really good.  I really enjoy cherry Coke.

CaptMorgan Private Stock is pretty sippable.

CaptMorgan Private Stock is pretty sippable.  

So is Bacardi Select. That's what I keep in my flask. Makes a great Cuba Libre'.

A Hurricane will set me on the party path every time!!!

Hurricane Cocktail Recipe

1 ounce fresh-squeezed lemon juice
3 ounces dark rum
1 ounce light rum
4 ounces passion fruit syrup
Crushed ice
Orange and/or lime slice
1 Maraschino Cherry

In a cocktail shaker, add lemon juice, rum, passion fruit syrup, and crushed ice; shake vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes and then strain into a tall glass or hurricane glass.

Garnish with an orange and/or lime slices and a maraschino cherry.

Makes 1 serving.

Alternatively, there a drink called a Lazy Conch that was invented in Key West for a contest, beach party at the Holiday Inn beach, thrown by our favorite Captain many years ago as a promo...

Lazy Conch

2 oz. Captain Morgan's Spiced rum
2 oz. Welch's white grape juice

Shake over ice, then strain into martini glass. Garnish with skewered green grapes. Yum!!!

If neither of those are available, then either a frozen daiquiri or simply rum mixed with fruit juices will work just as well.  I'm not really big on sipping rum, but I do have to admit that the Pyrates I got to try at TRF was pretty smooth, although the Cruzan pineapple rum I discovered was incredibly sippable!!!

Lazy Conch

2 oz. Captain Morgan's Spiced rum
2 oz. Welch's white grape juice

Come to think of it, I've had rum (and other spirits) with just about ever juice imaginable, but for some strange reason never with grape juice.  This is really odd considering I usually have a bottle of white grape juice in the fridge.

Oh, you should definitely try it... it's soooo Teh Y.U.M!!!

It may be a little bit early, although I think it is NEVER to early to party, let me wish all of me fellow Landsharks a very, VERY Merry Christmas and a FAN-PIRATE_TASTIC New Year!!!

And I still like a good Mojito!  And Pyrat rum makes a GREAT Bumbo!  And if you are any where near "Port" Worth on New Year's Eve . . . let me know!

For RENdezvous, I don't know if anyone's volunteered, but I'll happily bring along Sir. Jimmy's Boats Beaches Bars & Ballads!

Oh an odd yet DELICOUS recipe (I stole it from my brother- a fellow Guppy!)

Mountain Dew (He prefers Mello Yello) + Pineapple Parrot Bay Rum = HEAVEN!

[Taffy Saltwater]

I want to welcome Ulfric and Tammy to the fray.  I will try to get your phin and Letters of Marque out to you in the next month or so.

I regret that I will no longer be able to send out the phin and Letters after these last two.  But I will be glad to enter new folks into the Big Pink Rolodex of Doom.

Finally, St. Jimmy will be performing in the Woodlands, Texas on 5/20.  Hope to see you there.  Once again, welcome to our newest members.  Phins UP!

[Rani Zemirah]

Awww... wish I could make it down for that!!!  It's been far to many years since I've seen him in person... 

Welcome Ulfric and Tammy!!! 

PHINS UP!!! 

[Queen Bonnie]

 Me too! I don't drive in Houston- or Austin either. have Fun taffy!!
Welcome Ulfric and Tammy!

[wyckdblyss]

Just thought I would drop in and say Phins UP! Hope everyone is well...I seem to have missed out on a lot during my most recent hiatus from the internet...

Jimmy Buffett's coming to town in May! Sadly I has no job so I debated going.... THEN I found a Pirate Parrot Hat! I think I have to get the hat and go now!
