Festive Rum Drinks

In our search for the perfect rum drink, we have sampled many a concoction, and made up some real doozies. Although a great rum drink often doesn't need much more in the way of ingredients than a great rum, here's a recipe from The Swizzle Inn on Bermuda that we enjoy very much:

Rum Swizzle

4 ounces Goslings Black Seal (or another dark rum)

4 ounces Mount Gay (or another amber rum)

2 ounces Triple Sec

Juice of two lemons

5 ounces pineapple juice

5 ounces orange juice

2 oz Falernum or Simple Syrup

4 dashes Angostura Bitters

Make sure schooner is firmly docked, moored, or anchored. Mix ingredients in a pitcher with cracked ice and shake vigorously until frothing head appears. Strain into cocktail glasses. Serves three sailors or six ordinary folks.
