NOTE: I was reminded by @mmaurice100 , Chambord is actually raspberry liqueur, not blackberry! So, something like Creme de mure would be far more accurate than what I did in this episode. Sorry all!

Ha, I thought chambord was raspberry too, but I trusted you…. Not telling my wife I used chambord in it, but it still tasted really good

yum!! 🍹

Thank you, Doc! Yes, seeing the Postcard/Holiday Isle in person was amazing, it's enormous! I love their hilarious sign "The original tiki since forever", bit of a bold statement, but not entirely untrue. hah. And ya, I owe a big thanks to my brother, who managed to get that whole crowd involved for the Cheers! Thanks for watching, Doc!

I muddled 3 blackberries with about a bar spoon of demerara syrup, then added the rest of the ingredients. I used Bacardi light and Pussers rum. 😋 My wife said it was a keeper! Thank you!

Wow! Honestly, that sounds like worlds best rumrunner, fresh blackberries with demerara, and pussers! That is awesome, thank you for sharing!

Love rum runners, the recipe I have also include a 3/4 oz measure of lime juice which I find helps balance all the other sweet components but I see how others would prefer it without. Looks like you had a great time!!

Oh that is interesting! Ya, that would be worth trying for sure, Rum Runners are infamously sweet. Maybe you could call it "Rum Walker" or something silly, to indicate its a less-sugar-forward riff. Cheers, Stephane!

Love that you got the whole crowd involved in the Cheers! That’s so awesome! Would have been cool to see a comparison between both version of the cocktail as you described, you know, for science. I’ll have to check this place out next time I’m on FL. Awesome video, as usual. Cheers, pal!

yea! Frankly the so-called "real original" recipe looks... super terrible to me. It seems like it would just be an explosion of sugar with imperceptible rum. But, would still be fun to try-- and then pour down the drain 😆 Cheers, Vino!

Ha! Yes, nuclear yellow banana is a great description! 😆 Tempus Fugit Creme de Banane is the big one of course, but Giffards is pretty dang good. and DeKuyper is not great, but at least it's not "99 bananas!". Homemade banana syrup sounds like the most amazing option. Cheers!

Thanks, Tim!! Oh yes, Rum Runner is one of my favs. 99 Bananas in my experience is verrry potent and can become a diva spirit, I'd probably do like 3/4 or 1/2 oz to try and forego the syrupy-nature of the flavor of 99 bananas, but either way I'd be curious to see how it turned out!

Good job getting all of those people at the end! I feel we should make this non-frozen, but if I'm doing a lot of work outside this weekend and it's hot out, maybe a frozen version mid-day...

@@OneDrinkThreeBars Oh noo! Sorry you had a bit of a bummer time! I think I definitely enjoy the environments more than the cocktails themselves. Sunset Grille was awesome, for example, but man were the drinks ultra-sweet. And Gilbert's as well.. such an epic place, drinks actually not too bad there! But ya, Postcard / Holiday Isle Tiki is worth visiting just for the historical value... and I'd recommend getting the shaken-with-ice version there, frozen one is also ultra-sweet. Cheers!

I might be wrong, and I often am, but I think Chambord is a raspberry liqueur as opposed to blackberry

@CocktailFridays

D'oh!! You are RIGHT!! Yes!! I often mix-up Chambord as a blackberry, but something like Creme de cassis would actually be far more accurate. My bad! Thank you for pointing that out, I'll write it as a pinned comment / in the desc.

i don't wanna be a smart ass... but blackberry liquor = creme de mure... cassis = blackcurrant... similar but still two different flavours :)
