Coconut Rum
Spiced Rum

Mix the Juice concentrate and crushed ice in a blender. Add in half a canister of coconut rum, and a quarter canister of spiced rum. Blend until smooth and enjoy.

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2011! I hope you ended 2010 with a bang, and not so much of a hangover for 2011. Me and My crew celebrated the New Year in Asheville, NC at the Double Tree Hotel. The Hotel had a TGIFridays in the lobby, so we started out our night there. I had a Hawaiian Volcano and a Mai Tai - Very fruity, very tropical drinks. It was a good thing.

After dinner and drinks, we returned to our hotel room where the party continued. I had a couple shots of Strawberry flavored Vodka, while everyone else was sipping on some Sailor Jerry's and Pepsi.

We let those settle for a couple of hours, because the big event was still 3 hours away! There was chit-chatting and rounds of Tarot readings. When 11 o'clock hit, we knew it was time for the main event. We broke out the bottle of Biltmore Estate "Champagne," and turned on the TV to watch the ball drop. We promptly muted the horrible music, and waves of "WWOOOOOO!!!"

Because we waited a decent amount of time, the wine and liquor did not get anyone sick. We all enjoyed our New Year celebration. How about you?
