Island Delight

Last weekend I ordered a delicious looking tropical concoction with rum that the bartender called an “Island Delight”. Despite attempts to get the exact recipe before leaving, he would only divulge that it contained OJ, Piña Colada Mix, Malibu Rum and Grenadine. We went back to the office and gave it a couple of “shots” and think we came up with a pretty tasty  mix.

Enjoy, ’cause after all, who couldn’t use a little Island Delight?

Sammy’s Maui Rocker

Just two ounces of commitment, Now shake it up and pour it tall
One sip and you’ll surrender, One taste and you will fall
Sammy Hagar’s “One Sip”

We recently received a bottle of Sammy’s  Beach Bar Rum. Sammy’s rum is smooth enough to drink with just a cube of ice, but we thought we’d give it a try in one of the delectable recipes on his website.

We were really drawn to the recipe for Sammy’s Original Maui Mai Tai, but looked everywhere to no avail for Lychee Juice – although now we’re even more determined to find it and give the recipe a try! Sammy’s Maui Rocker looked equally as appealing, so we mixed up a batch. Don’t tell Sammy, but we changed the amount of rum from 1.5 oz to 2 oz (although we imagine that the Red Rocker probably mixes them a little stronger himself – ie, 2 oz of commitment???) Refreshing and fruity, this could become a regular. Mahalo Sammy for your rum and these tasty recipes!

Frozen Berry Mojito

Nothing can beat the taste of a well made Classic Mojito, but during our recent trip to St. Maarten, we enjoyed a Wild Berry Mojito at Mary’s Boon that was totally different and really, really good! Turns out the bartender at Mary’s Boon won an award for the beverage but wouldn’t divulge the complete recipe. It was berrylicious and we could certainly taste a bit of lime and mint, but it was frozen – more like a daiquiri. When we returned home, we thought we would try to capture the flavors present in that scrumptious Wild Berry Mojito.

We tweaked some ingredients to our liking and ended up with the following recipe, and although not quite as amazing as the one we had in St. Maarten, it’s pretty tasty! Perhaps the incredible view of Simpson Bay at Mary’s Boon had something to do with it?

  • 1/2 Lime (juiced)

Mint Infused Simple Syrup

Possible Variations
Change up the type of berries (strawberry, raspberry) to change the taste
Use frozen berries and slightly decrease the ice
Add more simple syrup if you like a sweeter drink or when using berries that are not as sweet

Mount Gay Rum Bajan Cooler

 Mount Gay Eclipse is almost always one of the selections in our rum cabinet. If not, it’s because we’ve just enjoyed the last of it and haven’t had a chance to get more. As a matter of fact, that’s how we found the following recipe, it was attached to a brand new bottle of Mount Gay Eclipse that we picked up this week.

The recipe is called Bajan Cooler. We put it together last night and I must say it was cool and refreshing – just perfect as the days get longer and warmer.

Piña Colada Cupcakes

One of our favorite tropical drinks is the frosty Piña Colada. The taste simply transports us back to the islands. So, when I ran across a recipe for Piña Colada Cupcakes I thought, why not! Mind you, with only 1/4 c. rum, these don’t pack quite as much punch as the actual cocktail, but that means you can probably enjoy them anytime!

Piña Colada Cupcake

Piña Colada Cupcakes
(makes 24 cupcakes)

1/4 c. coconut rum (we used Cruzan Coconut)
1/2 c. cream of coconut
1 tsp vanilla
1  3/4 c. flour
2  1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c. unsalted butter
1 c. sugar
3 eggs
1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple

Preheat the oven to 350`F. In a small mixing bowl, mix together the rum, coconut cream, pineapple with its juice, and vanilla.

In another small mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.

In a medium mixing bowl beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time, beating as you go.

While you’re mixing slowly add the rum mixture to the butter and sugar mixture.

Then add the flour mixture slowly until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

Fill cupcake wrappers 3/4 full and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until tops are starting to turn lightly golden brown.
