#7: The Rum Runner


Despite my somewhat non-plussed expression, I'm pretty excited to be tackling one of my favorite drinks of all time, the Rum Runner.  For east-coast-based patrons like myself, the Rum Runner is a common drink on the Atlantic Coast, served out of beach bars from Atlantic City down to Florida.  For those not familiar, this drink has a sweet flavor to it, often served with a floater of 151.  The beachbum berry version is as follows:

  • 1 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
  • 7/8 oz blackberry brandy
  • 7/8 oz crème de banana
  • 5/8 oz grenadine
  • 3/4 oz 151 caribbean rum

Banana, Blackberry and Spiced Rum make a solid beach drink.  Below, Natalie, Thy and myself enjoy our final round of drinks for the night at the Hut.
