White Rum

Poipu Sunset
While staying on the island of Kauai, my Wife and I enjoyed these drinks nightly from the lanai of our rented condo. This drink makes use of a local favorite fruit beverage know as POG or Pass-O-Guava (passion fruit, orange, and guava juice). It can be found in most supermarket frozen juice aisles. We used Hana Bay brand rums while there but any good white and dark "float" rum will do in a pinch. Very easy and very refreshing.
Fill a tall glass with ice add white rum, add POG, float about 1/4 Oz. of dark rum on top, squeeze lime over top and add to glass, serve with straw. Kick back and enjoy the sunset!

Daiquiri
Method: Shake and strain
  • 50ml Cuban light rum
  • 20ml lime juice
  • 15ml sugar syrup
While entertaining guests at his mine in Cuba in 1898, Engineer Jennings Cox found that his Gin supply had run out, left with nothing else except local rum, lime and sugar, he mixed them together and the rest is history. Most now know this drink as a slus-puppie style beverage, however the original, served straight up, is delicious, JFK's favourite aperitif!
Variations: The "Hemingway" daiquiri is the same as the regular recipe with the addition of grapefruit and maraschino liqueur, alternatively fresh fruits work a treat, particularly banana and strawberry.

The Seersucker
Jumping on the Seersucker trend, fabulous Flor De Caña rum has created a cocktail inspired by this classic fabric, simply called “The Seersucker.” With a nod to lemonade, “The Seersucker” is made with zesty cinnamon bark syrup and refreshing lemon juice, served over crushed ice for an invigorating jolt of fashionable flavor. Keeping you cool on hot summer nights, the heat from the cinnamon bark and the sweetness from the strawberry create a sublime flavor explosion. Flor de Caña’s Seersucker libation is poised to become as timeless as the fabric itself this summer season.

Daiquiri Daiquiri
Vote for the classic daiquiri with its heratage dating to the 1890s Cuba. A cocktail which is making a huge come-back now that its being made more oftern with real fruit and not artficial flavours, a well balenced cocktail good for any time and any place.
Put sugar,water and lime jucie into the shaker and stir for 5 seconds add the Bacardi and some nice freezing cold ice straight from the freezer shake hard for about 12 seconds so the shaker nealy sticks to your hands.
On the rocks pour without straining into a large old fasioned whisky glass. Straight up strain the Daiquiri into a frozen martini glass. Garnish both with the zest of a LEMON.

Trinidad Rum Punch Trinidad Rum Punch
I learned to make this punch in Trinidad and it's the way I learned not the way I've since read about the quantities of each ingredient. What I learned was 1 sweet, 2 sour, 3 strong, 4 weak. Other recipes I've seen have 1 sour and 2 sweet. I haven't tried this method as the one I learned works fine for me. Any rum would work but I would prefer a Mount Gay Sugar Cane or Eclipse rather than some flavored rum.
  • 250 ml simple syrup
  • 500 ml FRESH squeezed lime juice Mount Gay Sugar Cane Rum
  • 750 ml Rum
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • dash or two of Agnostura bitters
  • Grenadine for color
I always use fresh squeezed lime juice. I use ml as a measure as a 750 ml bottle equals 3 parts (strong), 500 ml of the lime juice (sour) and 250 ml simple syrup (sweet). Mix all of the ingredients and serve with plenty of ice (the weak ingredient). If you can let it sit in the glass for a bit to let some ice melt it should be just right. It can also be blended with ice in a blender for a slushy type of drink but take care because it packs a punch (pun intended). It also makes a great marinade for chicken.

Golden prestige Golden prestige
The cocktail golden prestige has been created by Nicolas Michel for the Swiss Bacardi legacy competition. Golden prestige has been chosen to be in the last 6 most promising cocktail. The final will take place the 4th of february 2013 in Zurich.
  • 50ml of bacardi superior white Bacardi Superior White / Carta Blanca
  • 5ml of orange blossom water
  • 2pinches of fresh saffron
  • 15 ml of fresh passion fruit
  • 15ml of simple gomme syrup
  • 10 ml of fresh lime juice
Inspiration behind the cocktail : Inspired by the legendary daiquiri, I wanted to create a cocktail that remained true to the roots of Bacardi superior. The idea is to emphasise the exoticism of the liquid that Don Facundo bottled 150 years ago, complementing his originality with some of my own. A bit of history, a dash of nobility combined with an oriental touch... That's how the "Golden prestige" was born. Salud.

**AUTHENTIC** Royal Navy Grog
I got the basic idea from the Pusser's Web Site, but you can tweak things JUST a bit. This is what they really served in the British fleet (Not so much in the U.S.). It's... DELICIOUS.
  • Any NAVY Rum or Pusser's Blue Label
  • 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice per serving
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown or 'Sugar in the Raw' Cane Sugar
  • 2, 3, 4, 5 parts water
  • MAYBE Pepper or some other weird things
All right, this comes from about the 1820's and later, when the Jackies got their lime juice ration, a tablespoon of rough sugar to sweeten that, and their rum ration, which was delivered in concentrated form. Grog is made by 'Points of the Compass.' 2 points of the compass--two parts water to one part rum. You'd almost NEVER get Grog that strong. '3 points of the Compass' -- 3 parts water to 1 part rum. I like it 4 points of the compass, more than that, and the lime juice and sugar tend to drown out the rum. Mix well, a shaker or a blender gets the job done. What's interesting about REAL 'Royal Navy Grog' is HOW GOOD IT IS.
It's BEST chilled, but the flavor is really quite pleasant, and it has a nasty way of sneaking up on you. It goes down very easily, and by the time you've had two or three servings, so do you. The British tars used to add other things to the Grog as it suited them--Pepper, for one, I didn't think it added much. Gunpowder--that's BLACK gun powder (you really don't want to drink modern smokeless) was another, and as far as I can tell, no one much liked that. I didn't try the trick of IGNITING it because that could get you killed--particularly with the high-test rums.

Gulf Coast Sunset
This is my favorite on hot summer days here in Florida. I highly recommend giving this one a try.
Optional: 1/4 oz simple syrup (when your ginger beer has too much bite to it. i.e. Jamaican Ginger beer or the oranges aren’t as sweet as you want) I generally take 1 whole ripe orange and cut 2 wheels out of the center of the orange and slice these into 2 halves each, and drop in the bottom of the glass. I then squeeze the rest of the orange which usually gives about 1 oz. of juice. I pour this into a pint glass, and add the Cockspur Rum. Fill the glass halfway up with crushed ice. Pour in the Ginger Beer.
Have a seat outside, drink and relax. I find this drink very refreshing in the summer heat here in Florida.

Mai Tai (Trader Vic's)
Trader Vic Bergeron claims to have created this drink for friends of his at his bar in Oakland, CA. The couple who had just returned from Polynesia exclaimed 'Mai Tai Roe Ae' meaning 'the best, out of this world.' Anyhow this drink was originally made with Wray and Nephew 17 y.o which is unavailable except for a few bottles in the hands of collectors.

Method: shake and strain over cracked ice
  • 50ml Aged Jamaican Rum
  • 20ml Orange Curacao
  • 20ml Lime juice
  • 20ml Syrup d'orgeat
  • 10ml gomme
Trader Vic's mentor Don the Beachcomber might well have fixed the original Mai Tai, a very different concoction, equal parts Cuban and Jamaican rums, lime, grapefruit, falernum, grenadine, Cointreau and a dash of Absinthe. Or if you can be bothered roast some Pineapple and muddle it into the Vic's recipe above.

This is a recipe from Beachbum Berry’s Sippin’ Safari and the Bum recommends Pampero Aniversario for this drink. I think its a nice drink with a distinct Aniversario taste..

  • 1/2 oz. Lime juice
  • 1 tsp. Simple Syrup
  • 1 oz. Seltzer
Stir everything in an old-fashioned glass with ice, and garnish with lime and orange peels. Notes: You may want to adjust the seltzer and simple syrup amounts to your taste and the rum you’re using. If the rum isn’t very intense, it can end up tasting watered-down with a full ounce of seltzer.

Hart of Darkness
From Jeff Berry's "Beachbum Berry Remixed", posted with permission
  • 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 oz passion fruit syrup
  • 1/2 oz honey mix
  • 3/4 oz soda water
  • 1 1/2 oz Lemon Hart 151 Demerara Rum
  • 1/4 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 8 oz (1 cup) crushed ice
Put everything in a blender. Blend at high speed for 5 seconds. Pour into a tall glass. Add ice cubes to fill.
Jeff's notes: Lemon Hart's 151 Demerara is our favorite rum. There's just one problem: you can't drink much of it without blacking out and waking up the next day in a country where no one can speak your language, but everyone seems very disappointed in you for some reason. So in 2005 we fashioned this drink to keep us from sipping the stuff neat. My notes: Forget adding the soda water... how about a little extra ice? You will not notice the lack of the soda water. Also see my post about dafruta passion fruit concentrate in the ingredients section, and making PFS from it. Finally, honey mix is 1:1 honey and water. I also like to use crushed ice at the end instead of cubes, filling a tiki mug. Addictive.

This is my take on a recipe published in the Washington Post in December 2009. It is a wonderful holiday season cocktail and looks really festive as well. Make it while fresh cranberries are available. The link to the original recipe is: here.
  • 2 oz very good Amber Rum or Rhum
  • 3 oz fresh cranberry juice (recipe follows)
  • 1/2 oz orange liqueur such as Cointreau or Senor Curacao
  • 1/4 oz lime juice
  • 1/4 oz simple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Shake in a cocktail shaker with ice, strain into cocktail glass, garnish with a round of lime or a couple of cranberries.
Fresh Cranberry Juice: A 12 oz bag cranberries, washed of course. 1 Cup water and 1/4 Cup sugar. Put all into a blender and blend thoroughly. Then strain through fine mesh strainer, pressing hard to extract as much juice as possible. You should wind up with about 16-18 oz of juice. This will be pretty tart.

Red Recognizer Red Recognizer
Featured as part of a TRON-themed cocktail list at motel bar in Wellington is the Red Reconizer. Named after the floating vehicles which form part of the video game Space Paranoids, invented by Jeff Bridges' character, Flynn. This drink is also a loose tribute to bad guy enforcers everywhere who feature in films but often have no dialogue. They simply hover in the back ground, ready to do their master's bidding. For instance, the floating red robot Maximilian from that other gothic sci-fi film by Disney, The Black Hole.
  • 30ml Smoke and Oakums Gunpowder Rum
  • 20ml Cherry Heering
  • flesh of one passionfruit
  • 2 wedges of lemon
  • 2 dashes of liquorice liqueur
  • grind of black pepper
Muddle the fruit together in the base of a boston shaker then add the rest (excluding the pepper). Shake then double strain into a martini glass, garnish with grind of pepper and present atop an LED light source.

Occam's Razor is a postulate of William of Ockham(1285–1349),"Simple solutions are, other things being equal, generally better than more complex ones." Or as Leonardo DeVinci(1452–1519) said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
  • Your favorite rum, or may I suggest:

  • OR Trois Rivieres Vieux Agricole (Martinique)
  • OR Clarkes Court Old Grog Rum (Grenada)

  • OR Doorly's Five Year Old Rum (Barbados)
  • OR Chairmans Reserve (St. Lucia)
  • OR Depaz Rhum Veiux Agricole (Martinique)
  • OR Rum Palmera White Label (Aruba)
To make Occam's Cocktail follow the directions exactly: 1. Select a suitable cocktail glass. 2. Put in no more than three ice cubes. 3. Add two or three ounces of the best rum. 4. Add one tablespoon of water. 5. Stir gently. 6. Enjoy.
Occam's Razor is just another way of saying, "Keep it Simple Stupid" or K.I.S.S. Occam's Cocktail is delicious, and delightful in its simplicity. Pour one for yourself tonight and love it.

This is a yummy treat made with 2 rhum agricoles and fresh pineapple.

  • 25 ml rhum agricole vieux
  • 1 can Ting grapefruit bev.
  • crushed ice
  • 2 tblsp liquid honey , 2 tblsp sugar , 2 tblsp butter and 1 tblsp Wray & Nephew White Overproof
Scoop out the pineapple and use some of the meat to muddle in a mixing glass. Add the lime juice, orgeat, the content from one of the passionfruit halves, honey mix and rums. Shake hard and not too long. Fill the pineapple with crushed ice Pour in pineapple, top with Ting, add some more crushed ice. Garnish with 2-3 pineapple leaves and a piece of speared pineapple. Add a straw. Believe me..this drink is worth all the effort..
HONEY MIX Add equal parts sugar and butter in a pan, about 2 tblsp of each, heat and stir well, add 2 tblsp liquid honey and stir until you get a saucy cream. Then add 1 tblsp of the overproof rum and stir again. Keep warm for mixing in drinks.It should be a little bit above room temp. It helps to use clarified butter as the problem with honey mix is the milk solids that form when it gets cold. These measurements are approximate.

Similar to a Vieux Carre and reminds me of drinks I used to have when I was living in New Orleans... except now with better liquor. Apologies for the cl and not oz... seems all my measuring devices are metric these days.
Pour the rums and vermouth into an old-fashioned glass half full of ice. Add the bitters and absinth/Pernod. Stir. Squeeze the lemon twist and drop it in.

Special Rum Drinks

Rob's No Freeze, No Batter Hot Buttered Rum
This was the result of some experimentation, back-engineering of a commercial recipe, and some wise counsel at a spice shop. Reviews have been... glowing.
  • 2 c. white sugar Pusser's Blue Label
  • 1 t. nutmeg
  • ½ t. ground cloves
  • 1 t. ground cardamom
  • ½ t. allspice
  • ¼ t. dried lemon peel
  • 1 t. cinnamon
  • 1 T. molasses
  • 3 c. water
  • ½ t. vanilla
Combine the dry ingredients very thoroughly together in a sealable container, it is VERY IMPORTANT to use a very hot, spicy cinnamon, such as Vietnamese Cassia, to keep the wonderful flavor of cinnamon from being overwhelmed by the other heavy hitters. The mix does NOT need to be refrigerated, you should keep it sealed to keep the spices strong and fresh. To prepare four small-ish servings, mix and heat the water, molasses, six tablespoons of the mix, and the vanilla to the point of boiling, but DO NOT boil. Do not serve in metal tankards, hands will fry! In each mug or tankard, put as much Pusser's Royal Navy
Rum as you want, two jiggers is rather ample. Pour in the hot mixture, melt a tablespoon of butter on top of each mug. This is sweet, rich, and soothing, just the thing for a cold winter's night or the dogwatch. Best!

The Beachcomber
Donn Beach (February 22, 1907 – June 7, 1989), born Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt, is the acknowledged founding father of tiki restaurants, bars and nightclubs. After years of being called Don the Beachcomber because of his original bar/restaurant, Gantt changed his name to Donn Beach. A bootlegger during Prohibition, Gantt moved to Hollywood in the 1930's, and opened "Don's Beachcomber" bar in 1934. In 1937, he opened the first Don the Beachcomber restaurant, featuring a variety of exotic dishes. As important as the food were the exotic and potent rum cocktails that became the hallmark of Don the Beachcomber. Gantt is credited with the creation of the Zombie, Tahitian Rum Punch, and the Navy Grog, among others. He is also one of the claimants to the creation of the classic Mai Tai. "The Beachcomber"cocktail is a tribute to this legendary man!

This recipe works both in the summer or the winter. Like many coffee based drinks, if you want to enjoy it in the heat then let the coffee cool and add some ice. Simple.
  • 1 1/2 oz Cruzan Blackstrap Rum
  • 1 oz Duggan's Irish Cream
  • 1 cup Coffee
  • A bit of whipped cream or frothed whole milk
  • Dash of Cinnamon

This simple recipe provides a basic sweet and spicy coffee. Typically I will mix the rum and coffee first. Then slowly stir in the Irish Cream to minimize the curdle effect. Finish the top with whipped cream if you like it sweet.
Try some cold frothed whole milk instead to make it less sugary. Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon and you are done. Enjoy.

Guaraná is a stimulant drink very popular all throughout Brazil. It’s the local alternative to Coca-Cola, Fanta, Pepsi and other products from the multinationals - mind you, the most famous brands of guaraná are bottled by those same multinationals. The drink is made from the seed of the fruit of the same name (scientific name: Paullinia cupana). The small tree from which the fruit grows is found in the north of Brazil only - and in parts of Venezuela. The big names in the guaraná market are Antarctica and Kuat. In the north of Brazil there are several local brands with no distribution elsewhere in the country.

Sea Fan Sea Fan
I created this drink after coming back from Tortola and we found a lot of sea fans on the beach that we brought back home. The blue Curacao will eventually turn the whole drink blue, like the ocean.
1. Combine the soursop juice and rum in a shaker filled with ice and shake. 2. Pour into a rocks glass half filled with ice. 3. Slowly pour the blue Curaçao into the drink so it settles on the bottom of the glass. 4. Enjoy!
Soursop is my favorite fruit and it's hard to find the juice in the USA but sometimes you can find a Goya frozen concentrate or in a powdered form. Not the best but will do in a pinch.

Wrong Turn at Trinidad Wrong Turn at Trinidad
I arrived upon this mixture while trying to create the perfect drink to enjoy with a spicy Thai meal. There's no wine that will work in that situation, and beer doesn't really do it either. This is my best attempt at something that does.

If you like mango, you'll LOVE this drink!
  • 2-3 parts Cruzan Mango Rum
  • 1 part V8 V-Fusion Peach Mango Juice
  • Splash of Grenadine, optional
Pour rum over ice, then add juice and stir or shake to combine. Add a splash of Grenadine for the "sunset" coloring, if desired. To 'kick it up a notch', float a bit of Myer's Dark Rum or Bacardi 151 on top, and in the straw.
All my friends love this drink, even the ones who don't normally go for the sweet/fruity drinks. I like to mix up a big batch for parties and serve it up in a punch bowl. You can add tropical fruits and/or a few scoops of mango sorbet - YUM!

Pandan syrup
This syrup uses 2 parts white sugar and 1 part light muscovado and then pandan leaf (pandanus) which i buy in Asian grocery stores. I usually use it sometimes when i cook jasmine rice to make the rice fragrant. Pandan is mostly used in Asia to add fragrance to desserts and rice.It has a very special fragrance. Its very distincly flavored and should be used in small quantities, just to give a hint of "something" to the drink. Ratio 2:1
  • 2 parts white sugar
  • 1 part light muscovado
  • pandan leaf (pandanus)
  • Water - 2 part sugar to 1 part water
Wash and cut the pandan leaves in short pieces. Combine the sugar and water in a pan, and add the pandan leaves. heat and simmer until the sugar is dissolved, and stir. take off the heat and cool and discard the leaves. Bottle. Store in the fridge.

GRAPEFRUIT BITTERS
I started a batch of Grapefruit bitters yesterday (using pink grapefruit) and here is the recipe (Gumbopages)
  • One 750ml bottle Wray & Nephew White Overproof
  • 2 large grapefruits
  • 1-1/2 heaping tablespoons coriander seed
  • 1 piece fresh ginger, about 1 inch on each side
  • 1/4 cup roasted unsalted cashews, roughly chopped
  • 6 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons water
Peel the grapefruits and finely chop the whole peel, including (and especially) the white pith; that's where you're going to get most of your bitter component for these bitters. Peel, thinly slice and then julienne the ginger, and roughly chop the cashews. In a large jar with a rubber seal, add the grapeferuit peel, coriander seed, ginger and cashews and pour in the rum. Seal and keep for one week, gently agitating the mixture daily. After a week of maceration, strain the mixture through a fine sieve and then again through a coffee filter. Finish the recipe by adding caramelized sugar syrup -- place the sugar in a small, heavy pan and heat over medium heat until the sugar melts and turns light-to-medium brown (be careful not to burn it). Remove from the heat and carefully add the water. Stir and/or swirl until all the sugar has dissolved. Add the syrup to the bitters and let stand until it's clear, then bottle for use.

  • 5-6 fresh Blood Oranges
  • 3 Tablespoons Raw Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Bar/Superfine Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Grass, minced
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cardamom, removed from pods
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons Water
* Carefully peel Blood Oranges, being sure to remove & discard all bitter pith from the skin. Likewise remove & discard all pith from the flesh of the Oranges. * Mince Lemon Grass & shell Cardamom. * Combine ingredients in a clean container & add Cachaca. * Seal container & swirl/shake vigorously. * Place in a cool, dark location for approximately seven days, swirling vigorously several times. * Strain three times by preferred method (coffee filter, cheesecloth &c), pressing on fruit to remove all liquid. * Clean container with hot water and replace liquid within. Allow to stand for one week. * Strain or rack again if necessary, bottle and store for several months (longer if refrigerated).
Enjoy in any cocktail (as appropriate, flavor-wise) which calls for Cachaca - a Caipirinha w/ half lime & half blood orange muddled works nicely.

Desserts and Treats

MY FAVORITE TAHITIAN TREAT
This is one of my fav treats,Tahitian oven baked papaya. This is for 6 serv.
  • 3 medium papayas
  • 3 Tahitian vanilla beans
  • 6 tblsp brown sugar, try to use the best sugar you can find
  • 6 tblsp good dark rum
  • Some unsalted butter
  • 1 can of rich thick coconut milk
Cut the papayas in 2 and take out the content so you get 2 "bowls", discard the seeds (or use them in a salad dressing.) Place the papayas in a oven proof dish. In each papaya shell put: A stick of butter, 1/2 vanilla bean, scrape out the seeds and add them first and then the bean itself on top. 1 tblsp sugar sprinkled over 1 tblsp of the rum Bake in the oven for 15 mins at 180C (I don`t have the F grades for the oven here..) Before serving, pour coconut milk over the papaya halves. This is a real treat but very simple and you can serve it with ice cream too if you wish, its also deliscious.

  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of oil (I use canola)

  • 1/4 cup water and 3/4 cup Myers's Original Dark Rum
  • 1/4 cup of demara sugar
  • 1/4 cup of butter
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1 cup Myers's Original Dark Rum
Mix first 6 ingredients & pour into a well greased Bundt pan. Bake 50 minutes @ 325 deg, or until a knife comes out clean. To glaze, heat remainder of ingredients except rum, to dissolve sugar. Allow to cool, then add rum just before glazing.
To glaze the cake in the pan, poke holes in bottom, then pour glaze on. Or turn the cake out, poke holes, & pour. Or turn the cake out, pour the glaze into bottom of pan & return the cake to pan to soak. Your decision. Enjoy!

Pan Seared Sea Scallops
I've tried this with several different rums, but so far 10 Cane is the crowd favorite at my house.
  • 6 strips of bacon
  • 1 dozen big sea scallops
  • 3 cloves of garlic chopped
  • 6 scallions chopped
  • 1/3 cup (or a rhum agricole) 10 Cane
  • 1/2 cup coconut water
Fry the bacon to a crispy state in pan, remove and drain the bacon, pour off half the grease. Add the scallops to the pan and sear them in the remaining bacon grease on top and bottom, about a minute per side. Remove the scallops from the pan. Add the garlic and scallions to the pan. Before they start to burn, pour in the rum to deglaze the pan and then add the coconut water. When the liquid begins to steam, add the scallops back to the pan and cover for 3-4 minutes. Remove the scallops to a medium sized bowl and reduce the liquid by half. Crumble the bacon into the liquid and pour over the scallops.
You can serve the scallops with a variety of sides. I served this over a bed of wild rice and it was a big hit.

Simple Rum Cake
This has proven to be a hit every time I make it. And the best part is that it is so simple to make that I can do it myself.
  • Pound cake, I buy this if possible from a store.
  • Half a bottle of dark rum, I use something like Cruzan Aged Dark Rum
  • 3 ounces butter
  • grated coconut - fresh if possible
  • 4 tablespoons dark sugar
Place the pound cake in baking pan and pour the rum around the sides. Let sit until all of the rum is absorbed. Avoid the top so you can easily spread the frosting.
Heat the butter, sugar, mix then add the coconut to make frosting. If you don't have enough frosting, add some sliced banana to stretch the frosting without making it too sweet.

Just don't tell anyone how easy this is to make.

Chicken Satay part 1 - The Marinade Chicken Satay part 1 - The Marinade
I first learned the basic recipe for this satay dish when working in a Thai restaurant.Then I took it with me and have personalized it a bit and I have used it to feed many. My advice is make enough skewers, they never last. Its a easy dish to make but if you cook for say 40 it takes some time. You may do this by deepfrying in a large wok (my preference) or over charcoal grill (summertime) or grill in the oven.(they get a bit drier) This is for 2 pers.
  • Cooking oil 4 tblsp
  • Soy sauce 4 tblsp
  • Oystersauce 4 tblsp
  • Coconut milk 1 dl
  • Sugar 1 tblsp
  • Salt 1/2 tsp
  • Mild Currypowder 4 tblsp
  • 1 tblsp blackstrap rum
Mix all the ingredients for marinade and mix the chicken with the marinade, wrap a plastic bag around the skewers,and leave in the fridge overnight.

You may do this by deepfrying in a large wok (my preference) or over charcoal grill (summertime) or grill in the oven.(they get a bit drier) This is for 2 pers. Buy chicken fillets for 2 people. Cut them in slices lengthwise and thread on bambooskewers with the tickest part at the base of the skewer.If using bamboo skewers soak the bottom of them in water for 20 mins before starting.
  • Chicken breast fillets for 2.
  • Bamboo or other skewers.
  • Thai Jasmine rice for 2
Rice - Use Thai Jasmine rice and cook.You make color the rice yellow by using turmeric or egg yolk food color. Deepfry, grill or grill in the oven..all the chicken skewers.
To serve: SIMPLE: With rice and with the peanut sauce beside and a crisp salad. PARTY: Buy a large banana leaves, wash and lightly oil them with oilve oil.cut out pieces to fit the serving plates. Place 2 large serving ,plates on top of the banana leaf. Put smaller pieces of banana leaves on the plates. Add the skewers in a nice way.

Chicken Satay Dish - Part 4 - The Decorations.
There are a few very simple decorations to use, they look really pro but are easy to make. Chiliflowers: Use large red and yellow Thai chilis.Cut lengthwise about 5-6 cuts around the chili from (almost) the top and down all the way to the bottom. Carefully cut away the membrance and the seeds. Put them in a large glass filled with water and ice and leave in the fridge for 4-6 hrs. The chilis will open up to become "flowers" Tomato roses: Cut the top off the tomato and put aside. Cut the skin off around the tomato in a spiral manner. Roll the skin-spiral to make a "rose", put it on top of the tomato top and secure if needed with a piece of toothpick. Use fresh Dendrobium orchids and their leaves as decoration. Use lime slices and kaffir lime leaves.
  • Red Thai chilis
  • Yellow Thai chilis
  • Limes
  • Kaffir lime leaves
  • Orchids
  • Tomatoes

Orange-Lime Scented Peppercorns
Peppercorns infused with orange and lime oil add an unexpected fragrance to chicken and fish...
  • Peppercorns
  • 1 orange
  • 1 lime
Spread peppercorns on a work surface. Roll an orange and a lime over them to extract the essential oils in the peel. Crack or grind the peppercorns and use immediately. Essential oils are volatile, so use these flavored peppercorns off the heat.

Party Punches

Rum Punch
I learned to make this punch in Trinidad. It follows as 1 sweet, 2 sour, 3 strong and 4 weak. I've seen it other places as 1 sour and 2 sweet but the first works better for me. I use any rum but prefer something flavorful like Mount Gay Sugarcane or Eclipse. Seeing as a bottle of rum is 750 ml I use that as 3 parts. Simple syrup for me is 1 cup of sugar disolved in 1 cup of hot water and simmered until slightly thick. This recipe will come out with enough to fill two 750 ml bottles and I don't usually refrigerate it and it keeps for quite a while. Pack a glass with ice and then fill with punch. I like to let it sit for a few minutes until some of the ice melts. I have some of this and close my eyes and I'm right back in the islands. It is a good marinade overnight for chicken as well.
  • 250 ml simple syrup
  • 500 ml fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 750 ml rum Mount Gay Sugar Cane Rum
  • dash of Agnostura bitters
  • dash or two of Grenadine for color
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • Lots of Ice
