We often talk about some of the fun and exciting new games that can be played at a tailgating party But we should not forget that the old game of Catch is a standby that should not be forgotten. Whether it is baseball, softball, football or some kind of Frisbee variation, it is a fun thing to do at any event. Just watch out for hitting other people or cars and it is all good.
But it is Spirit Thursday so here is a fine drink to enjoy while playing catch:
THE RUM RUNNER COCKTAIL
named after the daring “Rum Runners” of the Prohibition era that ran the Florida coasts

- 1 oz orange juice
- 1 oz blackberry liqueur
- 1 oz banana liqueur

- 1 oz dark rum or aged rum
- Splash grenadine
- one ounce of Bacardi 151 to float on top
or alternatively, the “the original” specs off the glass at the Holiday Isle:

- 1/2 oz 151 proof rum
- 5/8 oz Grenadine
