Sunshine Tiki often talks about his Very Spicy Rum when the holidays roll around each year. But this versatile home infused gold rum can be used in a good number of cocktails and baked goods all year long. With nothing more than an average gold rum, fresh spices and a little time. Follow our simple step by step video and impress your friends with your homemade spicy devil water.
Read MoreThis quick little cocktail was inspired by nothing more than leftover bar ingredients. And with fresh limes and lemons on the tree (yes, living in the sunbelt has its privileges) you can juice a lot of fruit now and serve this till the new year.
Read MoreWhat is a fruitcake? That question is harder and harder to answer as each generation comes into adulthood. Those of us in our 40's, 50's 60's and even more silver of generations know that it is a baked good of sometimes evil and sometimes joy. Dense. Heavy. Spiced. Fruity. What if a cocktail imparted only the better notions of said baked good? That is what My Tropical Fruitcake tries to be. Two parts spice and three part fruit is what makes My Tropical Fruitcake a miracle in mixology. Stirred together these liquors and spiced rum become something reminiscent of the forbidden cake of your darkest holiday dreams.

No one likes a mad, drunk, sore loser. And here is a drink that just about any bar should be able to make with the standard ingredients on hand. Drink two of these and your likely to have some stellar luck and maybe the guy next to you will go away. The Poker DICK!

Add the optional ingredients to make it more complicated or keep it simple.
Read MoreA good spiced rum drink is hard to find. Mostly because many spiced rums are crap. This little number is all about the SPICE. After you drink a Sand Pirate or two you may change your mind about spiced rum forever. We only have two drinks in our little book that use spiced rum. This is the house favorite.
Read MoreEvery once in a while we get a request for a custom cocktail that we can't resist. Having no kiwi cocktail in our little black book, it had to happen sooner or later. Sleeveless The Magician is born. Antioxidants and a dose of inebriation. Enjoy.
