Not being a regular rum drinker, but planning to partake in Belize, I need some good rum drinks we can both make in the hotel and order in the bars. Who has some good and simple concoctions to share? Only 14 days til we Belizeit!

One simple one is " PANTI RIPPER" it is made from pineapple juice and coconut rum and lots of ice.

These ingredients can be bought in any grocery shop.

Have fun!!!!

Where will you be staying?

A basic (and delicious) rum drink is just rum and tonic water, plus a squeeze of lime. Fanta tonic water, either with or without bitters, is widely available in Belize.

D-jon: Do you mean coconut juice of some kind and regular rum, or is there coconut rum, similar to lime vodka (yuk)? Our fam wil be at Coral Bay Villas for a week, then on to Caye Caulker for another week. Rumadumdum! Looking forward to bonefishining and seeing some Mayan ruins! Pica pica be gone!

Coconut rum on the rocks.80 proof, good stuff.

Try Coconut Rum & cranberry juice. That's some pretty good stuff, too. We had it somewhere in San Pedro, can't remember where. Mighta been Crazy Canuks? I think I liked it better than Panty Rippers - not so sweet (sorry for the blasphemy!).

Rum and Coke with lime aka Cuba Libre.

Rum and juice.

Rum and tonic.


The coconut rum is great with pineapple juice or straight but is quite sweet.

Mojito: Cuban rum, lime juice, sugar, mint. (It only works with Cuban rum and it works best if you are in Cuba when you drink it...)

Why Susangg............ would you, a member of the bar, be suggesting we Yanks violate our sacred laws and actually spend money in Cuba??????????????????? OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Bones, there is a coconut rum here in Belize it's not coconut juice.

to see Maya Ruins you'll need to be in the Cayo area or even visit Tikal.

I just had some guests who travelled there by road ans they said it was pretty safe.

looks like there are a lot of rum drinkers on this site.

Do any of you collect minature rum?

I do and have about 200 bottles.!!!!

Thanks to all you rummies! These are simple drinks I think I can handle. 200 bottles d-jon, really! Wow! A savings account for those slow days...A lucky 13 days til we arrive!!

after several panty rippers (it is not necessary that you wear panties) the coconut rum can become very sticky sweet. i started to substitute lemon rum. it was great. try it, maybe it will be a new drink sensation. i did my booze shopping at travelers.

When I mentioned a new (to me anyway) product I'd seen at the airport stores called Caribbean Craboo Cream, I was told it's very good so we brought a bottle home yesterday. Says it's got cane juice and craboo "grapes" and is in a bottle they copied directly from Bailey's. Haven't opened it yet.

Hey Okocian...if you have never had craboo...you're in for a treat! we used to make icecream out of craboo...delicious! I'm so jealous...will try to find a bottle over here.

Try your vavorite rum with coconut water (water from a green coconut) and some lime. Actually, the coconut water is very nutritious and good for you. Also, try the liqueur made from the craboo berry, a berry from a tree grown in Belize, made by Travellers called Nance. It sells for about $14BZ and is best served in a heated brandy snifter for an after dinner drink, quite sweet. Enjoy

The craboo is a dessert drink sort of like Bailey's Irish Cream. We'll open it today or tomorrow and I'll report on the taste test. Have to wait until the appropriate cocktail hour, though.

Well KLCMAN, you will be tickled to know that at this very moment, my husband is enjoying a mojito (actually, he's probably having his 3rd or 4th by this time) at the bar in the Hemingway Marina in Havana.
Luckily, he has a Belizean friend with him who's buying...wouldn't want to break the law, would we (wink)?

If you will have a blender handy, a coconut rum pina colada is always good.

susangg--- I am soooooooo envious of him.....guess I will make do with my Cohibas and Havana Club and maybe one of those 2 remaining Belikins

The Caribbean Craboo Cream is very good. The color and thickness is similar to Bailey's Irish Cream but a little grainier texture. It would be good poured over a little vanilla ice cream as well.

Who's got a good recipe for pina coladas?

For creamy pina colada 1 oz coconut rum, 1 oz white rum 2 oz coconut cream, 1 1/2 oz of pinapple concentrate(local) and a splash of evaporated milk and ice and blend..P.S. Don't miss Rasta Rippaz at Rasta Pasta...not an ad ...our homemade ginger beer with One Barrel Rum...bet you can't drink just one...Maralyn

not an ad just an opinion!!!!! rasta pasta has the best bigger than your head buritos on cc. make a point to visit hungry. you could probably wash it down with a pina colada!

this is where i get to say we brought home 3 bottles of cane juice rum. aren't you guys drinking it yet?

but this time we only found it at the airport.

we still like it with pineapple, and i like a splash if cranberry in it, to cut the sweetness.

i tried a drink called the islander also. anyone know what is in it? it knocked us for a loop.

todd got good at one barrel on the rocks.

a bartender recommended rum punch with orange, grapefruit & pineapple juices.

ramon's used to serve a frozen bailey's colada that was really good too.
