My tradition is Ti Punch with ice followed by Ti Punch without ice, and then I know I'm on the island. Feel free to have one for me. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> By the way, it is my favorite mixed drink in the world.

Years ago my neighbor and I had a few too many at my house and when I awoke I had an idea of the name meaning. After that feeling of someone pounding rusty nails into my head, I've been a single malt guy.

It was kinda like a frozen rum punch, maybe with a hint of coconut. In the heat, within 3 minutes it was beautiful pink mushiness. All of the bars at Mullet Bay could make it. On departure day we would go to the Ocean Pool and order a Mullet Bay "See Ya!" Cracked the bartender up. I believe Rosie still knows how to make them....and I do love her rum punches!

Don't remember the exact name of the drink. It might be Raymond's special Rum, but it is a blend of a number of rums and way, way good.
