Sorry friends. I know it’s been a slow few days, but life-life has required too much of my attention to properly keep things in order here. There will be a return to normal next week.

Seattle Seafair Pirates Landing 2010
Posted on July 12th, 2010
I am a lobster. No, this isn’t some stupid thing where I tell you I’m really an animal blogging under the guise of a human. I’m saying I’m red. Burned. Lobster colored. My skin has been licked by the sun. And it hurts.
But it was a small price to pay for Saturday.
Saturday was a good day. It was a day I’ve been waiting for since I moved up here and heard about it. Saturday was the day that the Seafair Pirates landed at Alki beach. And the weather was fantastic.
Fuck. Yeah!

Monday Catch-up: Tanduay Rhum, the Future of Tiki, the World’s Most Expensive Cocktail…
Posted on July 12th, 2010
How is it Monday already? I had three days off and almost nothing to drink and time still seemed to fly right by…
Moving on.
4,532 Litres of rum are for sale. The port of Cartagena is auctioning off 22 barrels and 132 bottles of Quorhum rum on July 21st at a starting bid of 21,000 euros. Via The Leader
Tanduay Rhum is the second most popular rum in the world. Here in the U.S., though, you can hardly get it. But their growth is strong and there are rumors of it hitting our shores. Via Rum Connection
Yet another article about the Daiquiri. It’s short, but sweet. Via National Post
The World’s Most Expensive Cocktail is a Mai Tai. For $1300 you can get a Mai Tai using the near-impossible to find,original 17-year-old J Wray & Nephew Jamaican Rum… or you could if they were willing to sell you the last shot. Which they aren’t. Via Herald Sun
There’s a seminar being held for the Tiki lovers. Learn about the death of Tiki and it’s resurgence and enjoy some Tiki drinks while you’re at it. Via A Mountain Of Crushed Ice
Get your mixing started for another cocktail contest. About.com’s cocktail contest for July is all about the Light Rum, hopefully it will produce some interesting results. Via About.com
The image in this post has nothing to do with anything. It’s just a cool old saloon photo.

Rum Review: DonQ Cristal
Posted on July 6th, 2010
This is a review that should have gone up last week and it’s another white rum – DonQ Cristal. DonQ is the product of the Serralles family who have been distilling what they tout as “the finest, best-tasting rum in the world” for six generations. Now, that’s an impressive claim to make about their product and one could chalk it up to the inherent pride of Puerto Ricans, but six generations is nothing to scoff at though so maybe it’s more than bravado.
Jump for review goodness…

Captain Morgan has a new wench – Marisa Miller
Posted on June 30th, 2010
This is a good week for wenches. It seems Marisa Miller is the new Spokeswench for Captain Morgan rum. Her official title is “Official First Mate”. I’m sure putting the word “Mate” near anything to do with Marisa Miller is anything but coincidence.
For anyone not familiar with Marisa Miller, you’re dead, blind, completely out of touch with media, or perhaps all of the above. Above all however, you’re missing out.
She’s been the number one spot in Maxim’s Hot 100, models for Victoria’s Secret and has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue. And that’s just scratching the surface of her professional sexiness. You should see her in the Harley Davidson campaign. Wow!
In regards to working with the Captain:
“It’s a great opportunity to work with a brand that is synonymous with fun,” said Marisa Miller. “Captain Morgan is all about celebrating legendary times and I’m excited to be on board as the Captain’s First Mate.”
