The Tale of the Drifter…
There was a man from a small fishing village in the Caribbean who had his heart broken by ayoung woman when she sailed away with another man. He was crushed. He vowed to find heragain and spent the rest of his life searching for his one true love. Over the years he took on manyjobs, mostly sea crewing on boats transporting fruits to various islands. In every port he searchedfor the woman who stole his heart, and in every port, his heart broke a little more.
During the Hurricane of 1932, the young man's boat ran aground near East End in Grand Cayman.He was injured, broke, and hopeless. He staggered across the island (some might say he drifted),hoping his luck would change and one day it did. He tripped over a half-buried chest that musthave been hidden by bootleggers. It was filled with rum! He spent weeks drowning his sorrows untilthere was not a drop of rum left.
Eventually, the man we now call The Drifter made his way to the spot where you sit today andmade it his home. He spent his days fishing, turtling, and gardening. Occasionally he walked toGeorge Town to barter his homegrown limes, mint, ginger and tobacco for some basic staples andof course, a bottle of rum. But he never gave up his search for the girl he would always love.
Whether you're with your true love today or still searching for the one, we welcome you tocelebrate the legacy of The Drifter with his signature cocktail. Raise your glass in a toast to hispassion, determination and sense of adventure. May we all have a bit of the Drifter spirit in us!
