Let’s celebrate my 500th post with a drink.

If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve used random results from the Tiki Bar Name Generator for many drink names. I don’t normally develop a recipe based on a name, but when “The Queen’s Rum Barrel” came up, I wondered what that drink would be like, and looked to England and her colonies for inspiration.

The Queen’s Rum Barrel

1 oz Plantation Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple rum
1 oz gold Barbados rum
1 oz London dry gin
1 oz white grapefruit juice
1 oz lime juice
1 oz orange juice
1/2 oz ginger syrup
1/2 oz orgeat syrup
1/2 oz vanilla syrup
1 dash Angostura bitters

Shake with ice and pour unstrained into a ceramic barrel mug. Add ice to fill.

UPDATE 2020.08.25: Reduced the grapefruit and added the vanilla to sweeten it up a bit and bring the proportions in line with usual rum barrel ratios.
