Rum, rum, rum.
Lots & lots of rum!
If you're new, welcome to Craig's Friday Cocktail List™!
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
