Strawberry Shortcake Shooter

On the Blue Chair Bay Rum website we spotted a delicious shooter recipe called Strawberry Shortcake.

Well that little shot of goodness was calling our name, so we set out to make a few. We made a quick run to the liquor store and found the strawberry liqueur, but were not able to score the Blue Chair Bay Coconut Spiced Rum Cream. Bummer. They did, however, have Pineapple Rum Cream, so we made a game time decision and grabbed it.

Anyway… using the Pineapple Rum Cream instead of Coconut Rum Cream obviously changes the taste of the shooter some, but it was very good anyway! We volunteer to try it again someday when the Coconut Rum Cream is back in stock.

Key Lime Colada

My, oh my, Key Lime…Coladas! A few years ago, during a visit to Key West, we ordered a Key Lime Colada at one of the many really good restaurant/bars we visited. Key Lime Pie is one of our favorite desserts and, to our pleasant surprise, Key Lime Pies are abundant in Key West. It is said (although there is some dispute) that Key Lime Pie originated in Key West, and regardless of the origination, Key West has got to be the best place to enjoy the delicious treat!

Anyway, the Key Lime Colada we ordered was a perfect combination of tart & sweet without swinging the pendulum either way. We’ve had a hankering for another one for quite some time, and since we haven’t’ been able to get back down to Key West for too long, we thought we’d try our hand at the delicious rum filled drink. The graham cracker crust makes it taste even more like a slice of pie! Tell us what you think!

These will be great during the warm, long and lazy days this summer.

Exuma Blue Lemonade

Have you ever tried an Electric Lemonade? An Exuma Blue Lemonade is similar to an Electric Lemonade except we substituted rum for the vodka and added a bit more sweet and sour mix for a slightly tarter taste. The color was so clear and blue that it reminded us of the beautiful water around Exuma, so we re-named the new rum version Exuma Blue.

Easy and really refreshing, this would be a good recipe to make in a larger batch!

Goombay Smash

We were recently alerted to the fact that we didn’t have a recipe for a Goombay Smash on our website by one of our FB rum friends and set out to find out a little more about it.

First of all, what’s with the name? Well the Goombay is the name of a drum sometimes used in Bahamian music. Makes sense. Smash? Drink one and I think you’ll figure it out…

Turns out that we can’t give you the actual recipe for a Goombay Smash, because, well, the recipe is a family secret. This potent and tasty rum drink was created by Emily Cooper of Miss Emily’s Blue Bee Bar in Green Turtle Cay, Bahamas and rumor has it, the actual recipe has never been divulged to anyone outside of the family. The recipe listed below was given to us by the same FB friend J.W., who feels the taste is pretty darn close to the ones he has enjoyed at Miss Emily’s, but even he says there could be some secret ingredient missing.

As far as the authentic version? I think a trip to the Bahamas and a little research at the Blue Bee Bar may be in order…

Hope you enjoy it – just remember, although big on taste, it’s unfortunately not short on calories! (but who’s counting….)

Lava Flow

Aloha! We enjoyed a Lava Flow on vacation in Hawaii a while back and loved the banana, coconut, strawberry (and rum of course!) taste. Because we add ice to the banana, coconut and pineapple mix, it makes a nice, light and frozen concoction. Close your eyes while you sip and you might even hear the palm trees rustling in the gentle Hawaiian breeze…
