Heading to the beach in a few days and figured I'd throw out some feelers to see if any Parrotheads have recipes for good boat drinks/rum punches/etc that I can concoct for the beach and the pool. My days of Captain and Coke are over as I'm trying to fend off the cocktails with soft drink mixers.
Here are the ground rules:
no soft drink mixers
4 ingredient max (unless your recipe is super good)
easy-to-find-ingredients (no fruit of the vine only found in Trinidad, etc)
So whatcha got?
Boat Drinks (drinks/punch, not the song)

One more thing I left off....if you specify rum, please specify a brand. Different strokes for different folks. What's dark rum to one, might be amber or aged to another. If you specify Myers, or Cruzan Aged...it will help me a lot! Thanks!
