The Rumster

ByRex

Last week I picked up some different rums to make the Hurricane cocktail for Mardi Gras. Had some leftover and decided to put together something new. I combined my two favorite juices — orange juice and cranberry juice — with a little rum and triple sec and ended up with something really good. I called it the Rumster. Very original I know.

The Rumster Cocktail

I served it straight up in a martini glass but it is equally good on the rocks. The orange juice and cranberry give it a nice color and the double rum gives it a little kick. The squeeze of lemon at the end brightens everything up and keeps it from being too sweet. Simple, easy and honestly really good.

You can also rim the glass with sugar which I forgot to do in the photos. Do as I say not as I do.

    The other day I found a whole chicken at the store for $2.  So I roasted it, had a semi-thanksgiving in August and then had leftovers.  What are the best leftovers with chicken?  I will tell you, it is chicken salad sandwiches.  I love them.  I was also introduced to the greatest sandwich spread ever….

  1. With all of that juice in there, can this qualify as a "health drink" ? 🙂

    1. I would totally consider this a health drink. Lots of Vitamin C.

        1. Mr. Marx, yours sounds good too. However, as you can tell from the date of the post this was created well over 11 years ago. I must say this Rumster was first!

  2. Prune juice my tuchas (or in Bachman speak two kass). I think brgining the pitchforks was a fitting metaphor. It is shocking and fascinating how powerful a movement like the Tea Party became and so quickly. Don’t think the Dems could pull off the same. Conservatives don’t hate old people, they hate takers and users ..ie those who don’t contribute and leech off the society of those who work hard and are successful (reference the ant and the grasshopper ). Accomplished people don’t want to support the lazy. Of course there are those who must be taken care of, but not druggies and welfare abusers. They’ve been coddled for too long. They laugh at Liberals whose hearts are breaking all the time (see Bonnie K., mi esposa, who can’t wait to cry at every NPR story so that she can send money to their causes).
