When the fall arrives, I immediately think of the start of Cruising season. Many of you know I love to cruise, and when you think of cruising you immediately think of a Tiki drink, and then I think immediately of the classic tiki drink, the Rum Runner. The three key ingredients include Rum, Banana Liquor and Blackberry Brandy (or Liquor). Blended with the fruit juices and grenadine this cocktail is a classic for a reason. It exudes tropical vibes and taste unbelievable. When you want to escape the fall weather, and the upcoming winter cold, a classic Tike drink like the Rum Runner, will transport you to the Caribbean and reward you with a fabulously crafted cocktail that conveys the tropical vibes you need.
