Rum Runner Recipe

The original rum runner was invented at the Holiday Isle "Tiki Bar" in Islamorada, Florida back in the 1950's.

Since it's origin, there have been many changes to the original recipe.

Although I wasn't present at the "Tiki Bar" on that historical day, I have performed a bit of research and I believe the "Rum Runner" recipe below to be very close to the original.

Even more importantly, it tastes great and our "peeps" love it.

As outstanding drink recipes make their way from one bar stool to the next, original concepts and truisms are fogged by 80 proof memories.

Just remember, it's all about flavor. Adjust this recipe to suit your individual taste!

Fill your blender with the ice. Add all of the liquid ingredients. Blend the contents until smooth. Pour into a Hurricane glass and garnish with an orange slice. Add the 151 floater!

On the Rocks:

Fill glass with ice. Add the liquid contents. Pour the 151 in the straw or on the top. Enjoy. This is my favorite way to enjoy the Rum Runner!

No Hurricane glass available, no problem. Any vessel will do!
