Barrel O' Rum by The Atomic Grog, June 2011.(Photo by Hurricane Hayward)

 or Virgin Islands rum

• 2 ounces dark Jamaican rum

• 2 ounces fresh lime juice

• 2 ounces orange juice

  Shake with plenty of ice cubes in a cocktail shaker. Pour into a ceramic rum barrel or large snifter.
  Lots of ingredients but easy to make. I usually double the recipe- it’s enough to fill 4 dbl old fashioned glasses crammed with crushed ice.
  I also Meyers Platnium and dark rums.
  Cheers

At the Ralph's in Westwood. They also had "ugli fruit" which seems to be in that family but I didn't want to risk it. The Whole Foods here now occasionally stocks a few different types also, at their usual criminal markup. I've seen oroblanco, mellogold, and cocktail grapefruits there.
