I Captain Morgan named after the 17th-century Caribbean privateer, Henry Morgan(Even though the label of the bottle portrays Morgan as a "pirate", the man Henry Morgan himself was offended in his lifetime when people referred to him as a pirate. He always considered himself a privateer, which was basically a pirate that was paid and had a license to pirate from a certain country).Henry Morgan began producing rum in 1680 on the island of Jamaica. In 1944, the Seagram Company started producing rum under the name Captain Morgan Rum Company. In 1983, Captain Morgan Original Spiced rum was introduced to the United States. Captain Morgan is now produced by Diageo.
Captain Morgan's is distilled from sugar cane. The combination of the type of yeasts employed for fermentation, distillation method, aging conditions, and blending determines the characteristic flavor of rum. Made with molasses, water, mash and yeast, Captain Morgan Original Spiced is distilled in a continuous still. Once distilled, the clear spirit is aged in oak barrels for up to a year, adding a golden colour and lots of character to the rum before the flavours and spices are added. The brand's taste is achieved through a proprietary recipe, which is blended into the rum mixture at the final stages of production, making full use of spices indigenous to the Caribbean Islands.Imported and Bottled by Captain Morgan Rum Company. Captain Morgan is, by volume, the fourth largest brand of spirits in the United States, and the eleventh largest in the world. In 2004, 6 million 9-liter cases were sold. Most Captain Morgan rum is sold in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, South Africa and in continental Europe.Flavours

Rum My Melon by Katie
Around 2 parts Captain Morgans Tattoo Spiced Rum (my favorite!)
1 part Captain Morgans Parrot Bay Coconut Rum
a knife
a big bowl
half a watermelonTake the watermelon half, leave it in the rind, put it in the bowl, and stab into it a few times, so as to let the liquor soak into it. Then soak the melon with the Tattoo Spiced Rum. (If you want you can go ahead and soak the Coconut Rum into it as well, but the best way is to dip each bite of melon in the Coconut Rum before you eat it.) Let the melon soak in the refridgerator for about 20 minutes and then DIG IN. It's delightful ;](My crew and I discovered this method of spiking melons is not only EXTREMELY tasty, but does a rather good job of gettin' The Captain in you as well - if ye be knowin' what I mean)
