October 2008

The story of rum is as romantic as the British Virgin Islands themselves. Starting when Columbia brought stalks of sugar cane to the caribbean. Here started an age of the great plantation and of course the famous looting pirates which made rum so well known today by people all around the world.

Here is this month's special cocktail............

 

 

Pink Conch 

2 1/2oz Conch Premium Rum (1 free with every charter)

1oz Coco Lopez

1 Grenadine

1 oz Amaretto

1 oz Pineapple Juice

Dash Cointreau

Shake well with crushed ice, and float a dash of rum on the top of the drink.


The last word goes to Captain Conch, 
"The two most dangerous words on a boat is arrgh.. "A Partnership is a leaky ship"!!"


Last month's answer for the Conch-test was: 
"Salt Island"


Drawn from the rum barrel to win a Conch Cap is: Colleen Phillips.
