I’m very pleased to announce a special rum event at Forbidden Island. On Thursday, September 6th, we’re celebrating the birth of grog, Painkillers, and all manner of Pusser’s rummy goodness! Starting at 7:00pm, Forbidden Island will feature: -Painkillers & Dead Sailors (our version of grog) featuring Pusser’s Rum. We are now offering Painkillers in the traditional 2 oz, 3 oz, or 4oz pours! -Enjoy your Painkiller or Dead Sailor served in a custom, limited edition Pusser’s Enamel/Tin mug! These mugs are replicas of the tin mugs that the Royal Navy used to serve the daily ration of rum to its sailors beginning in the late 18th century. Ours are customized with the Forbidden Island logo in a very small edition. While supplies last!!! -The first 40 customers to get a Painkiller or Dead Sailor will get a FREE Pusser’s baseball hat! -And for our rare rum lovers out there, we have a VERY limited amount of ultra-rare Pusser’s 15 Year Aged Rum, a beautiful and full-bodied sipping rum. NOT AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES! So head on down to Forbidden Island, taste the rum that fueled Royal Fleet for over 300 years, and take home a piece of rum history. See you there! Mahalo! From our menu: Grog was invented in 1740 by Admiral Edward “Old Grogram” Vernon of the British Royal Navy when he ordered that the sailors’ daily ration of rum be mixed with water, because “…the pernicious custom of the seaman drinking their allowance of rum, and often at once, is attended with many fatal effects to their morals as well as their health … besides the ill consequences of stupefying their rational qualities …” He even went so far as to suggest that the sailors mix it with lime and sugar, thus perhaps creating the world’s first tropical drink.

By the way, just to clarify, the FI Limited Pusser's tin will be an additional fee. But not too much! Painkiller #4 fitting in the tin is currently classified as "highly doubtful". We'll give ya the rest on the side. As the old saying goes, "There's always a little extra in the milkshake cup."

Lauderdale.... Anyway - you all ENJOY that you've got a great bar nearby!!! Can't wait to visit next time I manage to make it to San Francisco :)

S Sgirl Member Oakland Joined: Sep 05, 2007 Posts: 37	S Sgirl Posted posted on Thu, Sep 6, 2007 8:53 PM Just got home. We arrived a little after 6pm. I had 2 China Clippers while Bri had an island maitai (hard to resist those happy hour prices) and then a few min before 7 Martin rang the gong to kick start the Pusser Rum concoctions. I had a 3 oz, hubby had a 4 oz and we shared a 15 yr old (yum!) I've never sipped rum before. You can bet I'll be trying some other aged stuff. Martin gave me some recos for future visits. The tins were sold out before 8pm and there was one 15 yr old shot left. I hope whoever got it enjoyed it as much as we did! I guess it's off to the West Indies to get some of my own.

Don't forget the cool baseball caps (free with the purchase of the first 40)! Those were gone in under 20 minutes.

Ohhhhh, my head! Stop talking so loud! Hey, a 4X Painkiller might be one of the best drinks on the new Forbidden Island menu. Much mahaloz to Martin and crew (especially Thayer!) for the really cool Painkiller Club tins, the hats, the 15 year old Pusser's rum, and the soon-to-be-pain-inducing Painkillers. Thank goodness I heeded Martin's advice, and did not try an 8X Painkiller.

S Sgirl Member Oakland Joined: Sep 05, 2007 Posts: 37	S Sgirl Posted posted on Tue, Sep 11, 2007 6:19 PM Does anyone who didn't get a hat want one? In the darkness of the bar I thought the hats looked light red or coral. Turns out they are orange which doesn't look good on me. I'll bring it tomorrow night to the green mug party. I'm the only other girl in the photos above besides Thayer so should be easy to recognize. [ Edited by: Sgirl 2007-09-11 18:20 ] [ Edited by: Sgirl 2007-09-11 18:21 ]
