Example finished product. Even the glass is cheap, it’s a Libbey tiki glass. Details below.
Hipsters. It’s gotten to where I look up any quick recipe for a drink and I get the designer version , with hand-crafted this and keep your bowtie out of the mixer that. Blech! I wanted to get back to basics. Something that tastes great and costs jack squat, like you’d get in New Orleans or Vegas. I went Tiki and made a traditional rum punch:
- 1 part orange juice
- 2 parts pineapple juice
- Bacardi Black, to taste. Suggest 1/2 part.
- Bacardi Superior, to taste. Suggest 1/2 part.
Mix!
Then add Rose’s Grenadine to each individual glass, add enough to make some color (see picture).
That’s it bra/brotatos. No squeezing limes, no fancy designer stuff. Things you find cheaply at the grocery store. Cheap liquor. Tastes great, especially during a heat wave. If you want you can premix in the Rose’s grenadine too and make it kind of pink, and serve it in a giant iced tea dispenser.
Note 1: Traditional rum punch has lime juice too. I found that adds unnecessary sour to the punch. Especially when it is really hot.
Note 2: Libbey Tiki Glass link included. These are basically jelly jar glasses with a tiki face on front. Dishwasher and campground approved by R.J.
Fruit Juicy!
I am not sure how long it has been since I had an honest-to-goodness cocktail. but I am sure it was either a Moscow Mule or a Salty Dog.
That said, my wife occasionally goes through a fancy cocktail phase, so we have a ton of mixers, various bitters, drinking vinegar (?), not to mention a bar of high-end alcohol, as my wife does not do cheap. That’s my job.
That is my current usual.
I tried a cranberry mimosa this weekend that I thought was pretty good.
What’s your recipe? I like one of those, outside on a hot summer day. My wife was all into them for a awhile, but now I have corrupted her. Her new favorite is a double shot of brandy on the rock(s).
I use lots of fresh squeezed lime juice, good vodka, and good ginger beer. Q is superior. Some places use simple syrup, as well.
My latest favorite was made with Grey Goose “Essences” Strawberry/Lemon Grass vodka. Excellent.
Their tonic makes for a great G&T as well. One of the few on the market that still has quinine and isn’t sickly sweet.
I also like their tonic water.
I like Moscow Mules but most of the time they’re done with generic ginger sugar drink. It has to be a good ginger beer. If the ginger doesn’t burn a little bit, it’s not strong enough.
Q is very good, but we like Fever Tree tonic too. Crabbies ginger beer is also good for an extra kick.
I can recommend muddling limes for mules. Comes out great.
The Goslings brand ginger beer is solid and widely available, if you can’t find fancied things like Q or Fever Tree.
I’m a mule fan. I started getting the ginger beer from the Target house brand. Good and cheap. Vodka can be basic or Bison Grass for more earthy tastes.
I thought you liked alcohol. Blech.
What’s that called, Pineapple Diabeetus?
Yes! It is! Normally I have bourbon mixed with ice.
Sounds good to me.
A common problem in my house is when my wife asks for bourbon to put in a cooking recipe and I sheepishly say we’re out.
“Fine, I’ll use vodka!”
“Well uhmmm, we’re out of that too.”
Hilarity ensues.
What kind of sociopath puts ice in their bourbon? I am going to pour a double of Woodford Reserve and drink it hastily just to get the image out of my mind.
All whiskey should be dranken with ice, cubes not balls. Why, to show are suppiority of the Bitish.
Did you shoot at double between the first and second sentences?
“I’LL KILL YOU!!!!!”
/falls over and passes out showing his superiority.
In DFW, outside has been 100 to 106 F for a month. Ice is going in the bourbon when I go outside for a cigar. I may experiment with chilled glasses.
If you’re drinking outside in the heat then that’s more acceptable. A friend of mine uses these “beverage chilling stones”, which are nice in that they don’t dilute your drink. They also don’t keep it cold as long either, though.
I tried the whole “whiskey stone” thing before. I agree, it is ineffective. I have yet to try dry ice, which I use for Halloween drinks. It’s dry, so no dilution. Very cold, which is wanted. Only downside I can see is potentially carbonating the bourbon.
Get a dropper and some liquid nitrogen and turn the bourbon into a refreshing summertime treat, like these weird quasi-ice cream things you see at the few still-operating malls
I passed that suggestion on to people who have access to liquid nitrogen. A worthy experiment.
One of these may help

In defense of R.J. in spite of the disturbing things he does with his bourbon, pineapple and rum is a winning combination. Whenever I buy a pineapple I always cut it up in a large bowl, cube a quarter cup or so of the fruit, pour off the juice into a rock glass, and top it off with Bacardi silver to celebrate a job well done.
I just can’t do pineapple (or coconut) for alcohol. Hell, rum is sweet enough all by itself.
Thanks, R.J. Cheap cocktails on a hot summer day are the bomb.
My go to is Sparkling Ice and a dark spiced rum. The classic lemonade is passable with a bottom shelf whiskey. It’s not all that fancy, but so what.
Indeed. So what? Fancy is very overrated.
Barcadi can suck the high hard one.
I despise rum almost as much as I despise gin.
Firstly, sugar based alcoholic drinks always make my stomach churn, followed by extreme hangovers and a morning of pissing out of my ass.
Secondly, as a Freshman in highschool I got drunk on rum at a Senior party and got so sloshed that I ended up puking my guts out on the carpet in the living room floor. I woke up the next morning, got a ride home, then went into the bathroom. I then looked into the mirror only to discover that some upperclassmen decided to punish my party foul by shaving off my eyebrows…that day happened to be Thanksgiving. An awfully awkward family dinner that turned out to be.
I don’t don’t mind a screwdriver once in a while but I basically quit all booze above 8% ABV years ago. Too much gut rot and frankly, I tend to turn into a raging prick when I drink liquor.
*cracks a beer*
*Bacardi
…this isn’t my first beer today.
The standard punishment in my day was to draw a cock and balls on the forehead in permanent marker.
Having the eyebrows out of the way just leaves more room for a bigger cock and balls.
Agreed. Good call whoever did that.
The standard joke is that some people are mean drunks *and* mean sobers.
I like to think of myself as an above average drunk.
A joke like that is wasted on the this end of the bell curve.
What?
You could take that one of two ways. Up to you.
I’m not sure if I care for your mode of thinking.
I’m always mean but I keep it to myself when I’m not drinking liquor or sober. I most often just grumble the word cunte under my breath outside of the hearing range of others.
There’s a reason I have just one glass of wine with dinner and maybe one nightcap on weekends.
Huh, I’m nicer when I’m drunk.
It’s the rest of the time that people avoid me.
I dont get drunk. I only get more awesome.
I become one wise son of a bitch. Just ask me.
Who are you who art so wise?
This new learning amazes me Sir Bedevere. Explain to me again how sheep’s bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.
What’s different about you?
I despise rum almost as much as I despise gin.
There’s a nonzero chance you’re doing it wrong.
Gin and tequila (and to a lesser extent, rum) are spirits that you definitely get what you pay for. You can overpay for shitty vodka, bourbon, scotch, etc., and you can certainly get high quality bargains on each of those spirits. Don’t try that with gin, tequila, or rum.
During the “supply chain crisis” a handle of Bacardi silver went from $19.99 to $43.99 locally, while the bottom shelf brand that used to be $12.99 could be had for the value-packed price of just $21.99. This set my noggin’ joggin’ and I thought to myself: “Well, it’s not like Bacardi is top shelf. How bad could Admiral Nelson’s be?”
I won’t leave you in suspense. Bad. Real bad. I still drank the whole thing, because money is money and my momma didn’t raise a quitter. But please, learn from my mistakes.
Bad rum is a hideous mistake. Bacardi is cheap and reliable so I recommend it for cheap rum punch that won’t poison your guests.
Lol. I will learn your lesson.
There are so many great drinks out there. Alas, I suffer from the SugarFree disease, and so I stick to Jack and diet Ginger Ale along with cheap beer (Coors Light).
Sorry I missed you in Albuquerque. I left you some details in the forum.
I feel like kind of a retard for just now noticing there’s a forum. I’ve been away for a while…
I keep forgetting we have one of those.
I feel like I need it, even tho Im not sure what its used for.
I (mis)spent the bulk of my youth in paintball, linux and a/v forums. Sadly, they are mostly gone or so poorly trafficked there’s no point in visiting anymore. Facebook Groups subsumed most of them. It honestly boggles my mind how anyone who used a bbs or forum could visit fucking Facebook and say to themselves “Yeah, this is good, let’s use this instead.”
Between Facebook and Tapatalk, a lot of good airgun and motorcycle forums died a slow, painful death.
You can send people your information for contact, for example. You can setup a get together with a group privately, where lurkers don’t go.
Forum uses the same password as your Glibs account.
I still have a hard time with the forum. Saw your messages. Keep me in mind if you’re passing through.
You’re in the Dallas area? May have to schedule a TX roadtrip soon.
My issue is the opposite. Beer and wine set off my allergies intolerably so I switched to bourbon, Vodka and (occasionally) rum. I usually keep it simple, like a chilled vodka martini or just… bourbon.
That sounds awesome! Except for the Bacardi and pineapple juice parts. Otherwise, perfect!
Oh, man.
My neighbor made a delicious rum punch awhile back that just about killed me.
But I’m ready to dive back in!
Hey, I’m in the Central Time Zone so the Glibs timestamps are applicable now.
Fun fact, the movie Jackie Brown was based on the Elmore Leonard novel “Rum Punch”. If the drink is as good as the movie, it’s pretty good!

They hated the original Star Trek. They’re not accustomed to the slower pace.
Sigh. My daughter is ten now and no longer watches late night TV with me.

For my money, you just can’t beat the simple, classic Cuba Libre as rum cocktails go. I have one every Friday along with my cheeseburger as part of my dietary splurge day. Has to be made from Mexican Coca Cola in the glass bottles and fresh lime. My personal preparation begins while the oven is heating up to bake my french fries. First I take the lime, remove the UPC sticker, and rinse it. Then I place the lime on the counter top and roll it firmly with the base of my palm. This not only loosens the fibrous flesh of the fruit and releases more juice, but also releases aromatic oils. Depending on the size of the lime, I either quarter it or halve it. If quartered, one quarter is squeezed vigorously into an 8 oz. glass; if halved, one half is squeezed vigorously into an 8 oz. glass. If quartered, the expended wedge is placed in the glass after the juice; if halved, I divide the expended half and one of the quarters is placed in the glass after the juice. Next, 2-3 oz. of Bacardi silver, depending on how frisky I’m feeling. The glass goes into the freezer for the next 25 minutes or so while my fries bake and my burger cooks. When the fries come out of the oven and the burger has been assembled, the glass comes out of the freezer and gets filled to the brim with ice cubes and Coca Cola. The remaining lime is sliced into a thin wedge and garnished on the rim of the glass for aesthetics and aroma. I prefer to drink mine with a stainless straw, as it seems a little crisper on the back of my palette, and the stainless being frosty from the ice, every sip is ice cold.
The ritual is as relaxing as the result for me since it’s been part of my routine for such a long time. One of the few things keeping me just this side of sanity (and only just).
That is a good recipe you got there. I think for the simple cocktails, it’s almost more important to get it right. The Mexican Coke in the glass bottle is superior to all other colas, on that there is no debate. And I also roll my limes and lemons before they get squeezed. You also brought up ritual, which I think gets undervalued. It really is important for humans to have their rituals, it’s those small pleasures that are really beneficial to mental well being.
I have a mint plant going this year so it’s been mojitos. Easy peasy, sometimes with bourbon.
I strongly suggest Ron Zacapa if you are drinking rum. Absolutely delightful.

Love love love Rick Beato. Have you seen the vid on the complex pop song ever? “Never Gonna Let You Go” https://youtu.be/ZnRxTW8GxT8 (not a rickroll)
Oh yes, I remember that one quite distinctly. It was interesting to me in that I’ve heard that song many times over the course of my life and never thought of it as anything but boring Adult Contemporary FM radio softrock. After having watched the video the song still doesn’t grab me, but there’s a lot going on that’s easy to miss. I was surprised.
Also I can’t hear the name Sergio Mendes without thinking of this

couple of weeks ago, I had my “mid year” appraisal with my boss. I told him frankly that i was completely disengaged from work and wondering what the heck they hired me for.
This Wednesday I have a phone “interview:” with my boss’s boss who noticed that I have management experience. I also have a formal job interview at the main site regarding high voltage safety.
Wednesday will be pivotal, one way or the other, wish me luck!
Good luck!
High Voltage you say?
Good luck.

Follow up from a discussion last night.
After watching 1917 last night, I just watched They Shall Not Grow Old.
dbleagle said: I wasn’t impressed by 1917 after watching “They Shall Not Grow Old”. That was an intense WWI documentary. I most highly recommend it.
It was terrific. However, after reading Now It Can Be Told and a bunch of other WWI books, I think I liked the self-contained story of 1917 better. I understand that you can’t do justice to the topic in 90 minutes, but I found the micro-story of 1917 much more compelling.
My favorite WWI series remains Blueprint for Armageddon. It’s what got me going on this horrible subject.
Blueprint is excellent, but I think my favorite of his is Wrath of the Khans.
I still like Tuchman’s “The Guns of August.” It is beyond sadness to remember how a bunch of dick-measuring by senile elitists and royalty led to so many deaths in WWI (and the WWII it ultimately spawned.)
1917 has so many history flaws that I find turning my military historian off and go with suspension of disbelief.
From a technical standpoint it is impressive.
Tonight’s cocktail recipe:
Open mezcal bottle.
Pour mezcal into glass.
I can recommend it.
Huh. I used the same recipe, except I substituted Woodford Reserve bourbon for the Mezcal.
I’ll have to add that one to my repertoire.
On a slightly more topical note, a Smokey Negroni is great – a Negroni with mezcal instead of gin.
I wonder how long it’ll be before Negroni goes the way of niggardly and niggling and you can’t order one at a bar anymore.
African-Ameroni?

Morning, GT.
I wish I’d taken the whole week off. But I gotta do hiring paperwork.

How soon can you knock off work for the week?
I have thursday and friday off.
I don’t know my current supervisor well enough to know how he’d react to short notice adjustments in leave.
Understood. How long is your drive? (I’m assuming you’re leaving Friday?)
My mental estimate was 5-6 hours, but that was I-90 time. Turns out I-88 shortens the run by cutting off a large corner. So 3.5-4 hours to my hotel. I do have to briefly enter pennsylvania to do that though.
Please do be careful dealing with the guards at the state line checkpoints.

Thanks for asking, GT, good to see that all is well with you.
There are two worlds here in NJ. The one I sometimes bitch about on this site, populated by an assortment of grifters, muggers, buggerers, ass-kickers, politicians and Methodists.

We WILL be meeting you & Mrs. ‘patzie Saturday, correct? (I hope?) How long is your travel time to Party Central?
Oh yeah, driving up Friday. About 4 hours give or take. Bringing some beers from a local microbrewery. I’m kinda new at this, being a non-drinker, how does one keep the beer cold for 2 days?
I’m bummed out. It’s would be about 16 hours for me. I was planning on a flight, but the cancellation rates are ridiculous. I had a co-worker try to fly with his family to that area. He ended up in the car for 18 hours.
::shrugs:: A cooler with lots of ice and/or freezer packs? I’m bringing some wine from our favorite local winery, but I’m not going to try to chill it in advance. I’m planning to tell our gracious host that it’s for bringing out later in the proceedings when everyone’s already sloshed and no longer have any shits to give about whether it actually counts as “fine” wine. (All I know about wine is what I like.)
😞 I’m so sorry, TARDy! I would love to meet you in analog space. I hope maybe before too long there’s a Glib get-together that’s more centrally located.
