Remove Images Food & Drink 2 Crowd-Source Cocktails Social media dishes exactly what rum drinks people dig, and a recipe for success -- or disaster. Up to you. by Jen Russo September 23, 2010 Recently, I posed a booze-related question on Twitter and Facebook and—surprise, surprise—readers and friends of the paper weighed in. Here's a look at their answers, and a favorite recipe below... Jen Russo @jenrusso What is your favorite rum cocktail?  Marissa Meyer Jen, how about a Hurricane with Lilikoi juice? @daffodilblog I've been making Cherry Cokes with the Bacardi Torched Cherry Rum @ Moana, and they are so yum... Caren Iacovelli Teves macandcheesereview.blogspot.com/2006/03/passion- fruit-mojito.html Ynez Tongson @angryshortgirl I just love rum, period. Rum makes everything taste better. Anu Yagi @anuheayagi Martha Washington's Rum Punch: cocktailtimes.com/original/martha_washington.shtml Leslie Gibson-Seno Mojito! :) Scott Johnson Rum, coconut water (from real coconut) squeeze of lime. Can't go wrong with this; hydrate while you dehydrate. Ron Wall Hmmm... since you ask: a toss-up between Meyers/OJ & MtGay/Tonic. Karen Christenson An Island Girl @ Mama's served martini style; it's a few different rums muddled with fresh citrus fruits. Jason Michael Castle I agree on the Mojito calls...but use champagne instead of club soda. A 'Royal Mojito' is sex in a hurricane glass. Fresh mint of course. Jennifer Che A good VERY good mai tai—and a nice sunset on Maui. @Lunas1831 Rum & Coke, natch. Erin Horowitz Feldman Navy Grog...that's rum, right? Lisa Happe Rum mixed with POG juice! @MsMariasan The Hemingway. *** LILIKOI HURRICANE Here's my own recipe for the first suggestion, the Hurricane with Lilikoi. My tasters voted and it was a hit: INGREDIENTS: 1/2 cup ice 2 fluid ounces light rum Meat of two Lililoi 1 ounce brown sugar syrup 1 cup lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage (I used Jarritos) 1 ounce lime juice 1 fluid ounce 151 proof rum DIRECTIONS: 1. In a shaker, combine ice, light rum, lilikoi and lime juice and brown sugar syrup. Shake vigorously. 2. Add lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage and roll. 3. Shake well and pour mixture into a Hurricane or other large specialty glass. (I used a Pilsner and it worked fine.) 4. Float the 151 proof rum on top of the drink. Sink in a straw and enjoy! Brown Sugar Syrup: Combine 2/3 cup water and 1 cup light brown sugar and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat, about 3 min, till sugar dissolves. Cool, pour into a jar and refrigerate for up to one month.
