Its the classic Long Island Iced Tea for me. Always does the job. Superbly alcholic and slides down very nicely. Its made with vodka, tequila, light rum, triple sec, gin, and a splash of cola

My go to cocktail is a Caeser which is basically a Canadian version of a Bloody Mary. I make mine with tequila rather than vodka, and have to find the clamato juice online but with a good amount of worcester sauce and tabasco its lovely.

Given the weather, a Dark and Stormy might be appropriate. Ginger beer,slice of lime and dark rum.

Here at the humble grass hut, a little sodden by Hurricane Lane but still standing (for now) it's mai tais all the way.

HOWEVER the Brazilian Daiquiri is not to be easily ignored for a decent pre-planned BENDER:
Makes 12 cocktails, you'll need a big pitcher and at least 24 hours to marinate
1 cup light rum
1 cup dark rum
3/4 cup spiced rum
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise (or a few drops vanilla essence)
1 sweet pineapple (eg Maui Gold), peeled, cored and sliced into 8
2 tablespoons light brown sugar

Place everything in the pitcher, cover and let sit 24-48 hours at room temp.
Strain and serve in champagne flutes or martini glasses.

Bottoms up!
And repeat

On the list at Cumulus, off Flinders Lane in Melbourne, The Wedgee, a take on a dark and stormy.

One shot sloe gin, one shot west winds gin, full squeeze of half a lime, ginger syrup, grated ginger. Shake over ice.
Strain and serve, add 75ml ginger beer and orange twist. Easy to do, refreshing.

I propose the Godfather - whiskey of your choice (or whisky) with Amaretto over ice. If you want it long add cola.

For a shot - Aftershock, vodka and Absinthe in layers.
For a Jägerbomb - the D12 -red bull with two shot glasses, flaming sambuca in one, absinthe in the other.

I guess you have to like rum quite a bit to enjoy that cocktail, which I don’t, but stuff it I’ll give it a try!

My daughter and son in law are here for a few days next week and they are big rum fans, so it would be rude not to.
