Elizabeth sent us this “build in the mouth” shot. Yes, you mix it right into the drinkers mouth. Of course, shaken over ice and served in a shot glass works too.

Apple Pie Shot

1/2 oz. Captain Morgan Spiced Rum
1/2 oz. Apple Juice
Whipped Cream
Cinnamon

Pour apple juice into mouth, followed by the captain morgan, top it off with some whipped cream and cinnamon. Close mouth and swish and swallow.
*Sounds disgusting…tastes amazing!

Thanks Elizabeth!

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!

This 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!
