Kalik and lots of it.

Stay away from Kalik Gold, it is like liquid Ruffies with a side hit of acid.

Whatever is in my cup/can/bottle at the moment, but if the cup/can/bottle were empty then I have to pick Miss Emily's (Now Violet's) Goombay Smash!

A Nipper at Nipper's; Yellow Bird at Hope Town Harbour Lodge; Shotgun at Cracker P's; Tranquil Turtle at Jolly Rogers; Jolly Bob at Guana Seaside (Glenn's Cosmos are my favorite!); Mango Daiquiries at Sappodilly's; Agree with Noontide!!!!

Hey,

What about a "Guana Grabber" from Captain Easy?

Nothing better than Bacardi Gold, US Coke and a squeeze of lime (ice of course!)

Can any of the residents over there (Pat W. are you reading??) tell us the latest on Easy's bar? Is it still closed? What's the latest?
I, for one, think his Grabber's are the best. And the biggest cups too!

Easy told us he was having Potluck tonight but after tonight, your guess is as good as mine! A couple is suppse to be leasing the bar but don't know when they take over. Easy says he will still work the bar sometimes.

With so many suggestions it looks like I am going to have to form my own opinion...;)

Tough job but someone has to do it for....I might even enlist the help of the famous "usual suspects"....

Hey, Herve! When will you be back in Abaco again?

My drink of choice is what my dad calls a "long pull".
It's about a 1/2 gallon city water straight from a black garden hose. Usually consumed after about 20 gallons of sea water.
Kite surfing is so much fun!
If any hot water remains I shoot it down my wetsuit to warm up mini-me!!

Hey Herve, made Walker's painkiller cake for a bunch of friends the other day and we decided if we got pulled over for drunk driving we could honestly say we hadn't had anything to drink. Boy, is it strong.....but good!

Just returned from Blue Bee Bar. So of course my vote goes to Miss Emily's (now Violet's) Goombay Smash

It's the official boat drink of our old cruising boat WOODWIND, the Tailwalker. This is a Cajun martini served in a tall glass with a frozen ballyhoo instead of a swizzle stick. After you drink the martini, you nibble the ballyhoo down to the bone. Yum! (I don't remember anyone actually ever ordering one, once I described it...)
