This is Toni’s favorite Summer Cocktail. I know it is a bit early, but Memorial Day is just around the corner.

We just love Summer.

Sweet & Salty

1 1/2 oz. White Bacardi Rum (or your favorite Rum)
1 lemon
Salt
Coke
Squirt

Fill a pint glass to the top with ice. cut lemon in half & squeeze half of the lemon into the glass coating the ice. pour your shot in and then fill the glass 2/3 with squirt. pour a little coke in just enough to change the color of the drink to light brown. put salt on the other half of the lemon & salt the rim, then squeeze the lemon into the drink. Add a couple shakes of salt directly into the drink, stir a little and enjoy!!

Thanks Toni!

Video of the Weak - Thirsty Traveler

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Ooops

There used to be a video here, but the thirsty traveler doesn’t want you to see it. Sorry. They partnered with a company that asked me to promote the show for free, which I did. Now they don’t need us (so they say) and told us our use of the videos was unauthorized. Yet, they gave us implied right to use it by sending us their code. Embed codes were also available to all on the partner site.

We holler shenanigans.

Anyway we have more videos from producers that would be happy to let you watch.

Cheers!

Great White

Friday, January 25th, 2008

dotw logoThis week we feature a new rum drink sent in by Jennifer. The mix of spiced rum, vanilla, coconut milk and nutmeg makes me think back to warm Caribbean afternoons siting on the beach and drinking one of these …

1 1/2 oz. Spiced Rum
3/4 oz. Vanilla syrup (like the kind used in coffee drinks)
3 oz. coconut milk
Dash of nutmeg (garnish)

Combine the rum, vanilla syrup, and coconut milk in a shaker with ice. Shake to blend. Strain and serve in a Collins or other tall glass filled with ice.

Garnish with nutmeg.

Delish!! Creamy and mild, with just a little spice.

Thanks Jennifer!
