Bimini 2017 Arrival Rum Delivery

[Bruce]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Doyle who operates a store and golf card rental on South Bimini is offering to bring Bahmian Ricardo rum to us at our docks on arrival. Pricing is yet to be worked out but I would guess around $12 for Gold and $15 for flavored rums. The coconut variety is a strong favorite. The coconut is 60 proof and is enjoyable to drink over ice. The gold is 80 proof and most will want to mix it with something. We will be able to buy rum for less later in the trip but this is a nice way to get a bottle of the local rum without heading to North Bimini. If you are interested please select your preferred option(s) below. I will post actual pricing and confirm everyones intent to proceed before placing our order.

I noticed this site has reviews on some of the options

https://www.rumratings.com/brands/722-ricardo-coconut

I would add that I have tried the Dark and Mango and did not care for them. The flavor of the dark was too strong to me and the mango was too sweet but others may love them.

 

[Bill D]

Coconut rum, mango rum, pineapple juice and a splash of grenadine.... so good!

 

[Valerie]

Cherry or grape for me if they have that please

Mix with water and crystal light.....fruit punch at its finest!

I listed all the Ricardo flavors. You will need to search Booze and Screws and Butler and Sands for other flavors.

 

[DiverB]

We're in for the coconut rum, please

 

[Bruce]

We're in for the coconut rum, please

Please select Coconut in the poll at the top of the thread. It is an easy way for me to keep count.

19 bottles so far. We may be having quite the arrival party!

Some person whose identity shall remain unknown just reminded me of rum!!!!
How is our "welcome to Bimini" fluid looking like? I think we will be dehydrated upon arrival?

Are there laws about bringing in Beer?

Lol


This is what we brought last yea

that much beer for one week?

 

[Murf'n'surf]

that much beer for one week?

I don't wanna be a snob...but let's use the word "beer" lightly while referring to that stuff in the yellow boxes!

 

[veedubtek]

2 different kinds of beer. "Boat beer", and "Good beer". We took boat beer

 

[Bruce]

Personally I do not believe that beer and Bahamian Rum should be mentioned in the same sentence. It is simply unfair to the beer.

For those that must have beer buy one of the flavored rums for $12 a liter, keep it in the fridge and drink it like an oversized beer. Either that or drink Kalik which is a reasonable replacement for lemonade.

For those with seafearing pride, simply buy the gold rum by the case and add a mixer when you are feeling like drinking something weak. You can also use it as medicine, for cooking and for starting fires.

what is the legal drinking age in Bimini. Thinking to use it as rubbing alcohol in case he gets bitten by local mosquito. Local insect; local remedy. I think I am up to something here. LOL

 

[Bruce]

what is the legal drinking age in Bimini.

There is no minimum age for internal medical (cough syrup) and topical use. I have heard of kids as young as 14 in the Bimini bars on their own.[/QUOTE]
