Gobble, gobble! … Posted @withrepost • @castaw

Gobble, gobble! … Posted @withrepost • @castawaygrotto Ahoy & Aloha! Happy feast day to y’all!

Living out here on a tropical island, you’d think we’d be pretty isolated. But you’d be surprised to learn how many traditions make their way in from the mainland! One in particular is todays celebration of feasting! 😋🍗🥧🍴

A day for us to over eat, give thanks for the wonderful things we have, and to force the Bosun to wear the turkey hat! 😃🦃

And to celebrate today, we went ahead and made up a little variation of the jungle bird we did last year! But this time, with so much to be thankful for, we made it BIGGER! Say aloha to the Overstuffed Bird! 😳🍹

Overstuffed Bird recipe:
1 oz. @plantation.rum OFTD
0.5 oz. @edrumguy Demerara rum
2 oz. Spiced Sorrel*
1 oz. Lime juice
0.5 oz. Simple syrup (2:1)
0.5 oz. Cinnamon syrup
0.75 oz. @campariusa

Shake all ingredients with plenty of crushed ice, then pour unstrained into your snifter. Add more ice to fill, top off with some mint, and a carved orange turkey with a @surfsidesips bone straw and bone picks for drumsticks! 😉 🍗🍹

*Spiced Sorrel recipe:
1 cup hibiscus petals
0.5 cup dried cranberries
10 all apiece berries (crushed)
5 cloves
0.25 piece of nutmeg (crushed)
0.5 cup Cane sugar
3 cups water
Angostura bitters (reserve for after boiling)

Bring all ingredients, except for bitters, to a boil in sauce pan and then let simmer for 2 mins. Cut the heat and let steep overnight for 24h hours. Strain liquid, which should give you about 2 cups, and add 0.5 tsp of angostura per Oz. of liquid.

We really are thankful for the wonderful times and Ohana we have spent our year with! Where ever you might be, we hope you can indulge in food and drink today and give thanks with us! 😁

Happy holidays y’all!
Cheers & Mahalo! 🤙

Attention rum lovers: Your time is now! Listen to the podcast, buy the book, and give thanks that we live in the time we do. Great job @rumwonk (aka @cocktailwonk) and @clicky_chick … Posted @withrepost

• @therumcast New Rumcast! We (finally!) sit down with the Cocktail Wonk himself, Matt Pietrek, to dive into his and Carrie Smith's new 850-page opus on Caribbean rum, titled "Modern Caribbean Rum: A Contemporary Reference to the Region's Essential Spirit." Along the way, we also discuss his journey from software engineering to full-time rum work, the current state of rum, and much more, including:
• Which rum-making countries proved to be the hardest to write about.
• Surprising things learned in the course of writing the book,
• Lessons learned from multiple adventures in self publishing.
• What makes this book different from other commonly recommended reads on rum.
• How working with WIRSPA has broadened his perspective on rum.
• The future of molasses production.
• Assessing past rum predictions.
• Whether he likes Star Trek or not (stay until the very end!)
• And more!

You can order the book at Wonkpress.com and join us for our next Rumcast virtual happy hour by heading to Patreon.com/therumcast and supporting the show! Cheers!

The locals swear that the zombies will keep their distance if you stay pumped full of rum. I’m not taking any chances.
