Summer Drinks

Coconut rum is too sweet for me. And not strong enough.

I beg to differ on the strength. The only time I have ever blacked out drinking was drinking Malibu Baybreezes. I think I had 4 before I had a gap of about 3 hours in my memory.

Malibu is only 21% alcohol.

Substitute with Wray & Nephew Overproof for all your rum cocktails. Thank me later. :lol:

You act like that's absolutely nothing. Beer is only 4-8%, depending on the brew.

and the smirnoff you referenced earlier has almost twice as much booze as the malibu

Just saying... weak is a relative term and shouldn't discount a drink immediately because it doesn't measure up to another mixer's alcohol content. Just because 151 has more alcohol per volume than everything mentioned in this thread so far doesn't mean it's the best choice for sipping, for example. The comment that it wasn't strong enough for that poster doesn't mean it's a terrible choice is all...

It is too sweet for my taste. Everything is relative depending on intake. :beer:

I have no problem with umbrella drinks but if the only source of alcohol in the drink is Malibu, that's a pretty wimpy drink.

depends on how much malibu you put in...

I think I should bring a jug of lambanog to the next AZ Day. Seems this crowd can appreciate a 90 proof coconut based drink. I have to find a way to sneak it past Customs though.

I hear you. I just really like pineapple juice. I prefer to drink rum over vodka in the summer. Cruzan is my go to brand.

If you want to talk "umbrella" drinks, I'll take a Painkiller any day. I have yet to figure out how to make one. Not that I have tried very hard.

Exactly. My pint glass is usually between 1/3 and 1/2 full of the coconut rum before I add the other stuff.

Ironically, that's usually the brand of coconut rum I use. Be careful with the frosted bottles like that, though. They're weaker than clear bottles. I accidentally busted one all over the counter and myself one time at the liquor store and was then told that they're not as strong.

my old neighbor used to break out his grass skirt and some rum tum tiki's - cap'n, oj , a splash of pineapple and a little bit of ginger ale for some fo'shizzle - good stuff!

 

[severine]

If we're bringing the Cap'n to the party, then Sex With the Captain is a good one. Captain Morgans (or other spiced rum--I usually use Sailor Jerry), peachtree, and amaretto mixed with orange and cranberry juices.
