Antilles Treasures

Grab your passports and a hand full of doubloons, we have a concoction that will take you to ST Somewhere.  A Caribbean escape from the reality of an oncoming Fall and Winter.  We also believe a glass or two of this on a regular basis will keep one from contracting a case of scurvy.  Prepare to have your timbers shivered and the barnacles blown right off your hull by this elixir.

We know that  yesterday was “talk like a pirate day”and this drink certainly would have helped to loosen your tongue to make pirate speak easier however we wanted to share the recipe for our Tropical Tuesday post.

This is our favorite of rum punches, grogs or any rum flavored mixes and we have brewed this punch successfully for several parties. Always with the warning, if you partake, do not plan to drive as it has quite a kick.

How to make a pirate’s grog;

Fill a pitcher with ice, use a shot glass to measure and add in each of the following,
1 shot of white rum (any white rum is fine)
1 shot of amber rum (we use Pyrat pistol or MT Gay)
1 part dark rum (again we use Pyrat this time XO reserve or Gosslings Blackseal)
1 part Grand Marnier
4 parts Orange juice
4 parts Pineapple juice
1 part Ruby Red Grapefruit juice

This potent concoction will make enough to serve 4.

For those that would prefer a bit less alcohol increase OJ, Pineapple and Grapefruit portions to taste.

When we have made this grog for parties 1 shot is replaced with 1 part and is equal to a 375 ML bottle of pyrat pistol or 1.5 cups.

Even made strong the fruit juices mask the alcohol flavor and drinking more than a little of this grog can lead to waking the next day aboard a ship a victim of a local press-gangs recruitment.

Please don’t drink and drive!
