The Drunk Pirate

Pyrat Rum XO Reserve

Had wine not been the drink of choice 2,000 or so years ago, Jesus would have probably turned every drop of water on earth into Pyrat Rum XO Reserve. Each bottle of this aromatic and easy drinking rum is hand filled and labeled with a hand written serial number at the factory on the island of Anguilla. Pyrat Rum XO is actually a blend of 9 different rums that are blended and then aged to marry the flavors. The squatty corked bottle is reminiscent of the type of bottle used by the rum runners and pirates who roamed the Caribbean in the 1800′s.

Firefly Vodka Spiked Arnold Palmer

Since our review of Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, we’ve gotten tons of emails asking what the hell does one mix with sweet tea flavored vodka. I recently sent an email to the folks over at Firefly Vodka asking if they had any recipes they could share with us. As luck would have it they did in fact have a few tricks up their sleeve.

Santa Teresa 1796 Rum

When a woman enters the twilight of cougardom, most, if not all, do not get better with age. This is not the case however with Santa Teresa 1796. Ok so she’s not a real person, but you get the point. She’s the best tasting 212-year-old chick I’ve ever had in MY mouth. The bottle is very similar to a wine bottle and is sealed with a cork which is covered with blood-red wax. The whole package looks as if it were pulled from the belly of an old mangled ship miles beneath the Caribbean sea.

New Amsterdam Gin

So on my last trip to my neighborhood liquor store I was undecided as to what I was going to drink whilst watching Tim Tebow and Florida exact their revenge on Georgia and Knowshawn Moreno. I paced the isles up and down until a tallish, squarish, greenish and overall sexy looking bottle of New Amsterdam Gin caught my eye. The simple yet eloquent label at the bottom read “No. 485 Premium Extra Smooth Gin.” At $22.99 for a 1.75L how could I go wrong?

Amarula Cream: It’s Sexy Time

Amarula Cream holds a special place in my liquor cabinet, and not just because of it’s glorious taste and sexy brown, South African bottle. Amarula’s history begins in 1989, when the drink created from the Marula tree, or elephant tree, was first marketed to the public. But my history with Amarula dates back to January 2008 when I was first introduced to the liqueur by my girlfriend Rachel (who I like to pretend is of royal South African decent), who discovered the drink while traveling in the elephant infested country.
