Holiday Rum recipe needed

If anyone has a good Holiday Rum recipe I will appreciate it. That sounds good for the Holidays.

Can you be a little more specific about the parameters for your holiday recipe needs. If you're looking for a punch to quench the thirst of a large party that's one set of recipes, if you're looking for something along the lines of a holiday egg nog for one or two drinks that would be very different. In the islands there are a number of milk or cream based punches which are consumed more around the holidays than during the summer.

To get some ideas I'd take a look at

Martin Douboroff and Ted Haigh have been working on the most complete collection of authentic cocktail recipes I've seen to date. As the name implies this is a DataBase of recipes and since at least one of these guys is a db geek in every sense of the word, you'll find more than you asked for at Cocktail DB.

I'd add a link in the left column but this logo won't fit. Maybe I'll find a smaller one next time I see Martin.

Something warn and tasty, maybe in a bowl to fill your glass as needed.

Thanks for the link to the cocktailDB, a very useful site, and as Ed said, you`ll find more than you asked for.Very good!
Stumbled over the Mai Tai recipe though, and in my opinion Grenadine and Falernum has nothing to do in a real Mai Tai..
So I think the recipe should rather be called Mai Tai version.

You should have been in New Orleans for the Tales of the Toddy last week -- about two dozen bartenders concocted winter drinks for the season, many of them warmed drinks.

I came up with an entry based on colonial flip -- with rum, beer, maple syrup, ginger syrup, lemon and nutmeg. For production purposes, it had to be be pretty broadly modified from the original colonial recipe. I describe this in a bit more detail in this post (http://republicofrum.blogspot.com/2007/11/faux-flip.html) on my rum blog. The recipe is also posted there.

It's better than the ingredient list sounds! Martin Cate just posted that he's planning to serve it at Forbidden Island this winter in Alameda, Calif. And Martin's pretty picky.
