Happy Real Mai Tai Day (as opposed to the not so real one 2 months ago)? I am of course celebrating with this slightly less than authentic version of P.F. Chang’s Mai Tai, in part because I didn’t have any Bacardi 151 on hand (nor would it have been possible for me to since it’s been discontinued). Anyhoo, a heady tiki drink to unwind with, given the 3 varieties of rum that went into the concoction. Oh mai!

BRIEF: “Malibu Coconut Rum, Bacardi Rum, blue Curaçao, pineapple juice and sour mix. 150 Cal” SOOT’S: I rarely (if ever) get to enjoy a blue drink and after a long morning completing my mission at the Springfield DMV, I figured why the hell not?

BRIEF: “Mango Rum, Ice Tea and Lime Sour, Garnished with a Lime.” SOOT’S TAKE: Of course I had to have one of their cocktails! Always! @ Black Dog!

Time out.

Happy National Daiquiri Day!

Happy Tropical Cocktails Day! Caribbean Rum Punch with rum from a distillery that had its beginnings before Bolivar’s time to transport me to the islands…🏝️🍹

Feeling tropicale today with rum aged 12 years at the base of an active volcano and a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg.

Fizzy, vanilla-laced pineapple punch. T'was a hit with the partiers.

Ahhh...Malibu, what would I do w/o you???

I need some sunshine in my life. Malibu to the rescue. 🍍🌞🥥

An invigorating recipe of orange liqueur, rum and orange juice, topped with 7-Up. They still make 7-Up??? #REFRESH

Mentally transporting myself to azure waters and sandy beaches with Shivi Ramoutar's recipe because boy do I need it. Happy World Rum Day.🍹

Celebrating World Cocktail Day with a toast to the witty witness testifying in Manhattan last week and to the sick burns delivered on the stand during cross. 🥃🤣 *Just as I wasn’t able to attend the trial in person for the full Stormy experience, so I wasn’t able to make this drink with Goslings for the full Dark ’n Stormy experience.

Much needed @ happy hour.

Happy National Mai Tai Day! My first one outside Hawaii.

A combination that works BUT wayyyy too watered down for my liking (and I’d imagine, Captain Morgan’s as well). Would be much improved with 80% reduction in ice.

Piña Cruzlada to go!

Something light and bright for the darkness...

To hell with dry January.

Pineapple, Beetroot, Pear & Rum

Had some 🥭 that was getting overly ripe. This came in handy. 😉

Reinforcements (from a different mixer): Bacardi, Malibu and mango juice mix. She got a bigger tip 💵

Had to get rid of the passion fruit I took with me from Windjammer but did not consume in my room. The orange as well (yes, I become a fruit moocher when I’m off terra firma). Hartwood’s recipe was the answer.

The scent of Tommy Bahama, the Crazy Cuban that doesn’t cost me an arm and a leg...and I’m back on Oahu.🍹🏝 #tommybahama #alohatime #crazycuban #bacardigold #bananaliqueur #malibu 🍍 #localtodamax #dakine #ginza #tokyo #sootyinJP🇯🇵

“Osmanthus Flower-Infused Sailor Jerry Rum, Shiso Liqueur, Fee Brothers Plum Bitters, Lime Juice, Sugar Syrup, Ginger Ale” from Mitzo. I could taste a little bit of shiso, but that was it. #unremarkable

Watered down and ridiculously priced. I should’ve known when the waiter asked if I wanted it alcoholic or non. I asked if they weren’t all alcoholic? I mean, who pays $20 for a mocktail??
