I love that Black Strap Cruzan. Tastes good for sipping on the rocks.

I made up a variation of a Mai Tai recipe using Black Strap and it turned out to be, dare I say, quite good!

Take a big rocks glass and fill with shaved ice. One of those Don Ho glasses works well.

Rabid Mongoose:

2oz Bacardi white rum
2oz Cruzan Black Strap
1.5oz Sweet and Sour
.75oz TV Orgeat Syrup
.5oz fresh squeezed Key Lime juice

Combine the shaved ice and booze in a handheld shaker and shake well. Pour back into the rocks glass.

I tried it with regular limes but it just didn't have the pizzang that the Key Lime juice gave it. Damn tasty and very potent. My new favorite drink. Try it! Gotta use key limes though, even if they're from Mexico.
