Yes its that time of year...I start by cleaning my bottles that I have managed to store up throughout the year, removing all labels in order to replace it with a custom one revamped every year. Then I shop for all of the ingredients; coconut milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk, cinnamon, vanilla and lots of rum. Each batch comes out just a little different depending on my mood. Some get a little more and a little less of that but none the less they seem to disappear.
In the past I gave it away as gifts, however my list kept growing & growing so this year I decided to sell it and it is disappearing just as fast. I still can't keep up with the orders. I keep thinking this will be my last batch but no such thing... It really stops when I just get sick of drinking it because I do have to sample each batch and then taste it again each night just to make sure its still good so when I have had enough is when I tell everyone that there just isn't anymore and they will have to catch me next year. But until then I will continue to drink up and savor each glass or bottle!
I do enjoy adding my label and wrapping it up, ready for the next party!
