ingredients
- 2 tablespoons spicy rum punch syrup (see recipe below)
- 1⁄4 cup pomegranate cranberry juice cocktail
- 1⁄4 cup orange juice
- 1⁄4 cup pineapple juice
- 1⁄4 cup spiced rum or 1/4 cup dark rum
- 1⁄4 cup passion fruit liqueur (passion fruit-laced rum -- Malibu brand)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1⁄4 cup pineapple juice, for wetting the rim of the glass
- pineapple tidbits, for garnish
- orange slice, for garnish
- maraschino cherry, for garnish
directions
- 1. Make spicy rum punch in advance using the following ADDITIONAL ingredient amounts: 1/4 cup pomegranate cranberry juice cocktail, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1 T cayenne pepper. Blend cayenne pepper and sugar in a small bowl. Add spicy sugar to juices in saucepan. Heat to dissolve/melt sugar. Store in a squirt bottle (like a restaurant ketchup one) in the refrigerator.
- 2. Blend 3 T granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Using a 16-ounce capacity glass (I used a wide mouth stemmed ice tea glass), dip the rim of the glass in 1/4 cup of pineapple juice poured into a bowl wide enough to accommodate the upended glass. Pour spiced sugar onto a dessert plate. Spin the upended glass in the spiced sugar, being sure to completely coat both sides of the rim of the glass a half a centimeter inches.
- 3. Fill glass with ice (halfway). Add syrup, juices, liqueur, and rum. Stir. Either float the fruit garnish in the drink or skewer the pieces together with a cocktail pick.
- 4. Enjoy. You've earned it! Make sure to lick a bit of the spiced-sugar rim with each sip. (Translation: This is not a beverage to enjoy with a straw.).

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I teach middle school ELA in a public school here. I like to cook sauces mostly. I have just begun to cook OAMC and make-ahead since acquiring a chest deep freeze. I love looking at all of the posted recipes on here! My day begins with checking out the previous day's new recipes add-ons, the chef of the day, and the most recent forum postings for OAMC. My pet peeves are Curry Chicken from a local restaurant (which seems to go with the more curry powder is more theory) and people who don't like flavorful foods. Update (5 months late, but sue me): I am the proud mama of a beautiful red-haired boy as of April 26, 2010. Already, his favorite foods are: bananas, carrots, pumpkin, applesauce, and roasted pears. He doesn't like potatoes; I know, go figure.</p>
