THE GENTLEMAN'S COMPANION
sugarwhite beach, talking about Gilbert
&
Sullivan, and about the days
we used to play baseball against each other at Yale and Trinity, and then
we went in to town for a quick one before all the West Indies cruise
passengers had to be lightered off to the
RELIANCE
anchored out
there, and a friendly British Lieutenant suggested this cooler, which
is also a bracer. . . . Put a large lump of ice in the biggest tumbler in
sight-and
16
oz size is proper. Now add
l
jigger Barbados rum (any
dark rum will do) and the same of Bacardi, the juice of
l
small green
lime,
l
tsp sugar; stir
this
friendly group to
mix
thoroughly, then fill
the big glass with ginger beer, or some good ginger ale like imported
Cantrell
&
Cochrane. Stone bottle ginger beer is best, buyable now in
America.
WORDS to the WISE No.
V,
on the MODIFICATION of JA–
MAICA RUM when LADY GUESTS ARE PRESENT
Never forget, please, that only
1
lady in
12
really likes the Jamaica
rum taste. Therefore dilute the rum this way:
3
parts white Cuban
type to
1
of Jamaica. The aroma will be there and the full
round
Jam;iica flavour too, but in a tempo inoffensive to the most rabid
Jamaicaphobes.

We've always loved the more outlying parts of this island since our
first stay there of several weeks, back
in

In
those days most of
tpe islands in Castle Harbour were unsettled and we used to sail over
there in a small boat, and swim the white and pink beaches in utter
seclusion except for our companion, and the· screaming nesting sea
