drinking question....not what you think!

[danya83]

I am throwing my FIL a birthday bash two weeks before the cruising celebration, pretty much for the folks not going on the cruise. Anyhow, the theme of the party is cruising/island style. I was wondering if anyone had any drink mixes (adult) that I could make in a large vat? I was going to do a Mango Tango, but that's frozen, and I don't want to run a blender. So any RC drinks that are easy, yummy, and Caribbean? Thanks!

Rum Punch

Rum Punch

 

What's that?

Yellowbirds...which are basically malibu (or parrot bay) and pineapple juice. Just mix in a punch bowl with ice.

Get the margarita mix that comes in a bucket (you can get it at the grocery store). Just add tequila, freeze in the bucket and scoop it out at party time. Delicious!

Go to drinknation.com and search for Hawaii Mai Tai - They're fantastic.. The recipe makes a gallon+ (the official recipe won't use up all the juices you buy, so I usually make a little extra to use them up - just work with the proportions of the recipe and it works out)

 

I usually serve it with the juices and the alcohol in different pitchers, because I've found that some people will avoid "punch" at a party because they fear that it will have too much alcohol in it.

This is one I really like:

 

1 part red gatorade

1 part ginger ale

1 part apple juice

1 part melon vodka

 

You can serve this over ice, in a punch bowl, or in the blender.

 

REALLY GOOD! :D

Go to, Allrecipes.com I just made a Hurricane there that was out of this world. Bahama Mama's are easy and you can do those in a vat, as well. You will have to translate the amounts for a vat.

 

Dark Rum 1 oz

Coconut Rum 1 oz

Pineapple Juice To fill glass (about 12 oz)

Grenadine, just a splash for color.

[volleyballmom87]

1 part coconut rum (Malibu)

1 part melon liqueur (Midori)

2 parts pinapple juice

2 parts cranberry juice

 

This is one of my DHs faves. The color is kinda funky, but is really tasty. He really likes the summer frozen variation also.

 

Variation:

substitute pineapple juice for fresh pineapple and add ice and blend. (If you freeze the pineapple before making, you use less ice and therefore water it down less.)

I was going to suggest a Hurricane, but Nliedel has beaten me to it. :D

My BF brought home Mango rum from her cruise for both of us. She is having a party next week and asked me to come up with a drink using the mango rum. I threw some stuff together and my DH & FIL loved it.

 

Fill a rocks glass with ice. Then add...

1 oz mango rum

1 oz coconut rum

fill remainder of glass with pineapple/orange juice
