In Antigua the tradition on Christmas Day is to head down to Nelson's Dockyard for some champagne. People come from all over the island to walk the docks and look at the boats while enjoying a glass of bubbly. Huge tubs of ice are filled with different types of champagne. This is not a by the glass affair. Oh no, you select the bottle of your choice. Seasoned veterans of this affair bring their own flutes from home, but as first timers we settled for the plastic cups that come with purchase. They let you stroll around with your bottle...no problem. Bill from Voyager C was supervising our progress.
Next, we gathered on board Dream Maker, along with crew from Daniell Story, Cheetah ll, and Voyager C, for the full Christmas Dinner. Kathy and Bill (Dream Maker) were denied their turkey dinner last year, so this season they were on a mission to make it happen. Of course, everyone brought enough food for three dinners. This is just the desert buffet. Apparently we all thought this was hilarious.
Along with desert, Roy decided to make the "True" rum punch for everyone.
The recipe reads:
one part sour = Lime
two parts sweet = Cane Syrup
three parts strong = Rum
four parts weak = Ice
Garnish with bitters and freshly grated nutmeg.
Go ahead a try this at home. It will make you happy.
