Keith… Mostly I was just trying to bang out the cocktails quickly and get a picture without getting my camera too sticky.

By the way, this is the recipe for carter beats the devil. It was created by Erik Adkins.

1/2 oz del maguey minero mescal
20 drops (eye dropper) of chile tincture

Humuhumu, I know of only two cocktails that work with the Blacstrap… one is the Corn N Oil, in which it is superior, and the other I can’t name but watch my site during the Tiki themed MXMO.

Erik, gotta tell ya those pics are a little too close-up, started to feel a bit like porn : )…whooee though that Queens Park Swizzle looks great!!!

I have actually wondered in the past if you could sub Cruzan Black Strap in a Dark & Stormy. Forewarned is forearmed, as they say.

And I have to say that having the makings of a restaurants bar menu at home is not a warning sign. It is an economical alternative to eating out too much on the cusp of a recession.

I am so, so thirsty now.

Cruzan Black Strap puts the ass in molasses! I’ve tried to mix it in a few different ways, and nothing ever turns out very drinkable.

Anita: I just forgot to add Goslings to my shopping list, so used the Cruzan I had on hand instead. It is very molassesey!

Nice!

Looks like one hell of an afternoon.

Should it be a “warning sign”?
How about a “requirement”?
Course, I suppose it depends on the restaurant….

And seriously, what brought on all this? Binge, or party?

(Nice looking Pegu, by the way. Why bother with anything else?)

My apologies for the Cruzan… I don’t like it either, but Cameron is steadfast in his love of that particular combo, so I felt compelled to include it. (After all, it’s not just *my* blog )

What’s the homework for? Or were you just feeling in need of a drink or twenty?

ps: we can ‘loan’ you some Goslings if you need…
