Episode 49: Captain's Grog Cocktail and A Bottle of Rum...

Hey Guys,I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe! We are so glad all of our listeners are tuning into us and enjoy a little piece of paradise for an hour. We will always bring you shows during this time!This show's drink is called the Captain's Grog which was created at Captain’s Inn, Long Beach, CA in 1962. This massive tiki bar has five dining rooms at its waterfront restaurant. It features three rums: a dark Jamaican rum,a light Puerto Rican rum, and a gold Puerto Rican rum. It features some cool ingredients such as Falernum, grapefruit juice, vanilla and almond extract, and even Canadian maple syrup! Yummy!!Go to episode #17: Test Pilot for the Falernum recipe on this page: https://tikicentralcanada.ca/recipes/We got these recipes from who else but Jeff "Beachbum" Berry and also it can be found in Smuggler's Cove. You can get those books at our cool link page: https://tikicentralcanada.ca/cool-links/We discuss the different types of shakers you can use. We go over the "pros" and "cons" of each and which one you should start of with.On our "Book Review" segment: we talk about the book "And a Bottle of Rum" by Wayne Curtis. This is one of my most used books in my library and I refer to it frequently. It is a great resource book but also has some amazing stories in history of rum and some popular rum cocktails. It goes over the history of things like grog, the flip, and rum itself. Cocktail's stories are the Daiquiri, Mai Tai, Mojito, Planter's Punch and even Rum and Coke (who knew it had a story too).This book is also in our cool link page as well.Finally in the "Mailbag" segment: we get asked where does Craig get his information and just how does he verify its accuracy. Hmmm!!Oh, and check out this hilarious Matthew McConaughey Shows How To Make A Face Mask video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueyrM4QSxsUWell don't forget the CD contest which ends the end of May.
