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

coconut rum, mango rum, soda water, mint, lime, green chili

White rum, honey, calamansi

Happy World Rum Day. BACARDÍ Carta Blanca, Malibu rum, juice of mango, cranberry, and lime, finished with a splash of Sprite to lull me into a rum-addled weekend as the rest of the world burns…

Rum, Tropical Fruit Flavors and A Touch Of Almond. It’s a very happy hour.

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🇯🇵
