So here be a drink idea fer all ye pirates who be loving yer Sunday brunch.

                                                          The Bloody Pirate!


     This idea hails from those fine guys at Code Rum, using their key lime version, which I have previously reviewed and still enjoy myself. Simply substitute Code Rum Key Lime for the vodka in your favorite Bloody Mary recipe and enjoy!

     I have included a recipe I have had before and enjoy, it comes from that fine gent, Alton Brown, a true master of the galley.

The Bloody Pirate
   by Alton Brown and Code Rum

Ingredients:
1 3/4 pounds cherry or grape tomatoes, rinsed and dried
2 teaspoons hot sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 to 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, to taste
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 ounces Code Rum Key Lime

Directions:
1) Remove the stems from the tomatoes.
2) Put the tomatoes, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and salt into a blender, cover and blend on high speed for 1 1/2 minutes.
3) Fill an ice cube tray with about 2 cups of the juice and freeze overnight. Pour the remaining juice into a lidded container and reserve, on the counter, overnight.
4) Just before serving, put 3 frozen cubes into each of 4 Collins glasses and add 1 1/2 ounces of rum to each glass. Stir the reserved juice, pour 4 ounces into each glass and serve immediately.

The reason for making ice cubes out of some of the juice is quite simple actually. As the juice ice cubes melt, they won't dilute the taste or make your drink watery. This way you have an enjoyable drink from start to finish.

Now, enjoy and fair winds!
