"That's
no moon, it's a Space
Libation!"
I
feel 100% confident in telling all of you that I am the biggest Star Wars dork
you know.
Bar
none.
Oh,
you think not?
Darth
Vader's Imperial March was played at my wedding...yeah, I win the Nerd
Olympic Gold.
In
any event, the reason I went with the whole Galaxy Far, Far Away motif is in
honor of Disney naming J.J. Abrams to direct the currently-untitled STAR WARS VII. I think he's a fine choice as long as he doesn't start thinking
he's George Lucas and edit the Smoke Monster
into the Cantina scene...
Let's
drink!
1 oz Jagermeister
1 oz Jack
Daniels
1 oz Triple
Sec
1
oz Vodka
2 oz Sweet &
Sour
2 oz Cola
Fill pint glass (yeah, you really need a 16 oz glass) 3/4 with ice
Add booze and sweet &
sour
Stir
Add
cola
Stir
lightly
This tastes kinda-sorta
like a Long Island Tea, but more harsh & herbal (Jager). If you decide
to have a lot of them, I only have one thing to say:
May The Force
Be With You!
"Don't be too proud of this tippling terror you've
constructed. The ability to mix an awesome cocktail is insignificant next
to the power of The
Force!"
Rum, rum, rum.
Lots & lots of rum!

Today's drink is the Rum
Runner.
Like all forms of
boot-legging, rum-running became very popular and profitable during
Prohibition in America. But rum-running actually started long before
the Kennedy family even moved to the U.S. It began in the Caribbean during the
16th century. The British government penalized rum-running in the same
manner as Piracy*
*more on that in a
moment
1 oz Light
Rum
1 oz Dark
Rum
1 oz 151
Rum
1
oz Blackberry
Liqueur
1 oz Banana
Schnapps
1 oz Pineapple
Juice
1 oz Orange
Juice
grenadine
Fill highball (or regular
12 oz drinking glass) 3/4 with
ice
Add light rum, dark rum, liqueurs and
juices
Stir
Drizzle with
grenadine
Float 151 on the top for
the extra
kicker
You can put this in a blender if you prefer, but
you probably want to cut the booze in 1/2 or it will melt very
quickly
And definitely DON'T blend in the
151
*OK, back to me shoe-horning in pirate
references.
This drink has 3
different types of rum, representing three different types of
pirate:
1) Light Rum - This is the lighter, whimsical
side, like a goofy Hollywood Pirate
2) Dark Rum
- This is the darker, harsher side, like the murderous actual pirates
3) 151 Rum - This is 151%
bad-ass just like Max Hardberger
