Mahalo to all the crawlers who stopped by our room Saturday on the crawl. We appreciated your thirst and your generosity. I had a blast getting to see both familiar and new faces. Mahalo also to all the other hosts. Each cocktail I had was top-notch. I'm only sorry I missed a couple while setting up shop. And thanks to Val and my sister, who made sure the drinks were iced and garnished.

For those of you who are interested, and asked about the Black River Punch, the "road recipe" version is below.

Black River Punch
1 oz. lemon juice
1 oz. Demerara sugar syrup
0.5 oz. Falernum (recipe from Beachbum Berry Remixed)
0.25 oz. Pimento dram (recipe from Beachbum Berry Remixed)
3 oz. Appleton VX
2 oz. strong black tea

Shake lightly with ice, pour into a tall glass. Top with a splash of soda, if desired (I omit soda when making large quantities; the ice block handles the dilution). Grate fresh nutmeg over the glass.

Thanks again crawlers. Let's do it again next year!
