Note that I am not a sweet drink kind of person, and I have many friends that seem to be and this is a drink that both seem to like and will with out a doubt kill the pain. It makes a great party drink.

2 parts Orange/Tangerine Juice
1 part Pineapple Juice
1 part Rum - prefer Cruzan 120 but you can use 80 or 151 and it still taste good.
Squeeze a good slice of lime in.
Mix this all over ice,
Then add 1 part tonic water and give a light mix.
Garnish with a lime slice if you wish.

For parties I premix the Orange/Tangerine (store bought, OJ works ok but the Tangerine really adds to it) and Pineapple Juice ahead of time. Gallons of it, last Saturday we went through several bottles of rum with this.

I have only found one person (does not like OJ) that has not loved this, the tonic lightens it up and makes it refreshing. You can also add a bit of tonic to Margarita's if you used a mix to take away the chemical kind of flavor that a mix usually has.

We call the drink above a Jumbie, and that name comes from a very similar drink recipe that I found in a cocktail book from a trip to the USVI in the 90's, not to be confused with of course Rum Jumbie.

You will be very surprised with this drink, it will become a party staple.

Cheers,
Todd
