Grab some beads and raise those glasses, it's Fat Tuesday! Time to kick off Mardi Gras the right way, with a Hurricane. Ground zero for Mardi Gras is of course New Orleans and the famed Bourbon Street. But just because you can't be there living it up, doesn't mean you can't celebrate! Head to your local watering hole or your kitchen, it's time mix up the drink of New Orleans, the … [Read more...]
After one sip, you'll be hangin' on for dear life. You better hold on because the Kraken will get you. Kraken Rum that is. At 94 Proof, this flavorful rum will sneak up on you, just like the beast of lore. Black in color and strong on taste, Kraken is honestly one of my favorite rums. The pretty bottle might have pulled me in at the start, but the great taste has me coming back for more. I … [Read more...]
After one sip, you'll be wakin' up to a hundred mosquito bites. From that chair I've cought a few fish and some rays And I've watched boats sail in and out of cinnamon bay I let go of a lover that took a piece of my heart Prayed many times for forgiveness and a brand new start I've read a lot of books, wrote a few songs Looked at my life - where it's goin, where it's gone I've seen the … [Read more...]
After one sip, you'll be building sand castles on the beach with Wilson. Show of hands, how many of you want to be in the Bahamas right now? Ok, hands down, I can't see you remember. I'll take a salty guess and say about 99% of you had your hands raised skywards. That other 1% must either be somewhere in the islands already or have scurvy. The Abacos Islands in the Bahamas are a … [Read more...]
After one sip, you'll put a hex on your mother-in-law just to get one. Wait for me! I tell my girlfriend Erin, who has already beat me to the bar and half consumed a VooDoo Juice. We walk in the door of the Bolongo Bay Resort on St. Thomas and no sooner can we put our bags down, a cold rum punch is thrust into our hands. It disappears in less than 3 minutes. It was a long flight, what can I … [Read more...]
After one sip, you'll commit a little mortal sin. I've said this before, I'm not the biggest fan of Mojito drinks. Just not a big fan of mint. But it has been years since I've had one so for the sake of research one needs to be open minded. This past Saturday I was at Conch Republic Seafood Company (or Conch Farm) in Key West. I opened up their cocktail menu and was greeted by 7 or 8 … [Read more...]

Today's Boat Drinks cocktail recipe has mucho rum in it, so I hope you truly do love this rowdy spirit. Let me introduce you to the Cuban Crime of Passion cocktail.

After one sip, you'll be piloting the big guy's sleigh. With Christmas only a couple days away, it wouldn't be right to do anything but a holiday drink recipe. Last year we sipped on the Mistletoe Margarita and some Rum Nog. I've never been a huge fan of Egg Nog, even if you do add rum to it. Just something about it makes this pirate quiver in his boots. That's why this year we'll take a look … [Read more...]
After one sip, you'll be showing off those tan lines. To me Cruzan 9 is a versatile great tasting rum. It can easily be enjoyed as a relaxing sipping rum and it can also be the life of the party when combined with fruity mixers. For me it's my go to rum, I buy the large bottles and end up using it for most of my cocktail creations. It tastes great, price is excellent and saves me from using the … [Read more...]

Who I am and Why I Write - Close your eyes and remove yourself from the everyday. Picture your toes sinking into the sand as the waves kiss your ankles and listen to the coconut palms rustle in the gentle sea breeze. That’s a nice feeling isn’t it? I live a little bit of that life and want to share my tropical dreams with you. My name is Ryan and I hale from the land-locked, can’t get any further from the ocean, state of Kansas. I moved to laid back southwest Florida back in 2001 and have … Read More
