Notes


I read about this drink in a book called The Ship and the Storm - Hurricane Mitch and the Loss of the Fantome. This book is about a ship that went down in Hurricane Mitch. This ship was part of a cruise line called Windjammer. Windjammer's ships are all tall ships--not the floating condos that most cruise lines operate.

It's a sad tale, but I was struck by a Windjammer tradition. They serve Rum Swizzles at 5pm from the bar for free. Try to find free drinks on the floating condos...

The Windjammer Rum Swizzle looks to be a basic rum/pineapple juice/orange juice concoction. I adapted this one from a recipe on the Gosling's web site.

Enjoy it and give a toast to the crew of the Fantome.
