I did it!

Well,here it is folks,the completion of my first century of Tiki mixings. I picked a special drink for this,it’s not only potent,but is also served in a pineapple. It’s called the Boo Loo,and was created by Jeff “Beachbum” Berry,the famous Tiki drink expert.

To properly make the drink,you need to core out a pineapple to serve it in. I borrowed a corer from a friend,but you can find them online or in grocery stores for under ten bucks. To core the pineapple,follow the directions that come with it. Do not core all the way down,however,leave about two to three inches intact so you won’t have to worry about leakage. You will also want to make sure you cut the top parallel to the ground so that it will sit flat and not slide off while drinking from it,and cut a small slot in the edge of the top for your straw. Finally,you’ll want to freeze the pineapple overnight. This will not only keep the drink colder,but it makes the shell rigid so it’s a better mug. Save at least two pineapple rings for the recipe,you can use the rest for garnish or eating,or squeeze it for the juice.

Now that you have your drinking vessel,let’s get to the recipe.

Mix #100 Boo Loo

1.5oz gold Puerto Rican rum
1.5oz Demerara rum
3/4oz Lemon Hart 151 Demerara rum
3/4oz dark Jamaican rum
2.5oz pineapple juice
1.5oz lime juice
1.25oz honey syrup
1.5oz club soda
2 pineapple rings

Put everything except soda into blender and blend until smooth. Pour into pineapple shell and top with club soda and ice. Put top back on and insert straw.

So Beachbum is a mad genius. Despite all that rum,you barely taste it,you just taste pineapple. But you will feel it. In fact,I only drank about half the drink,and stored the rest for the next day. This will mess you up,and all that sugar and rum will give you a hangover if you’re not careful. This really should be a drink you share with at least one other person. It is absolutely delicious though,which is why it can get you into trouble as it goes down so easy that you won’t feel it until it’s too late. This drink is like a firecracker in that it’s fun as long as you’re careful.

Well there you go folks,one hundred mixings. Stay tuned as I go for two hundred. Aloha and mahalo!
