Fourth of July weekend is chock full of potential fun. Food and drinks being the key elements.
For lighter summertime fare, the Backyard Tea – made with lemonade and iced tea – strips the innocence and adds a bite to the classic barbeque beverages. Easy to make and great for group, it can batched and served as a punch so guests can serve themselves — and you can focus on manning delicious burgers and steaks searing on the grill.
Back Yard Tea
2 parts Sailor Jerry Rum1 part iced tea
2 parts lemonade
Glass: highball
Method: Add ingredients to in ice-filled glass and garnish with a lemon wedge
Made with a spicy combination of ginger beer, pilsner, Tabasco and our beloved Sailor Jerry, the ingredients aptly explain its name: The Hellfire.

2 dashes Tabasco sauce¼ of a fresh lime
1 part ginger beer
Pilsner beer of favourite lager beer
Glass: beer glass
Method:
Squeeze quarter of a lime into beer glass.

Top with beer
Not for the faint of heart, this cocktail – a place where sweet, spicy, and salty come together harmoniously – can also provide a much needed “hair of the dog” the morning following a successful summer celebration.
Sailor Jerry, not only limited to cocktails, can be included in all aspects of your grill out! By adding a Sailor Jerry spice to your BBQ sauce or mixing it into your hamburger meat to help with caramelization on the grill, the liquid has more uses than you would ever imagine.
SAILOR JERRY BBQ SAUCE
In a medium pot, add
1 liter Sailor Jerry Rum,
4 to 5 quartered oranges,
3 lemons and 2 limes
(3 – 4 tablespoons of mixed fruit juice concentrate optional)
Reduce at a rapid boil by about 75% or until slightly thickened, strain and let cool
Pick your favorite brand of BBQ sauce. In a new pot, bring desired amount of BBQ sauce to a slow warm adding the Sailor Jerry Rum mixture a little at a time. Test drive about 5/6 parts BBQ to 1 part rum mixture and see how that works for you. Each person’s taste is different.– and do taste along the way to see how you like it. Fabulous on ribs and pulled pork!!
Happy 4th.. and please drink responsibly. Eat as much as you want!
