Bumboo: Bumboo was a spicy mix of rum, water, sugar and nutmeg, with cinnamon sometimes substituting for nutmeg. Since pirates put into port more often than naval sailors, they were less prone to scurvy and more apt to a drink with better taste, hence preferring bumboo over grog.
Bumboo Recipe 1: In a shaker, combine two ounces of dark rum, one ounce of lemon juice, half a teaspoon of grenadine syrup, and a quarter teaspoon of nutmeg or cinnamon. Shake well. Strain into a cocktail glass.
Bumboo Recipe 2: In a tall glass put ice, sliced limes, a slug of dark rum & top with 7-Up. Add (grated) nutmeg. Stir. Flip: A mixed drink featuring egg. In the time and place of pirates, flip usually referred to ale flip, which mixed ale, brandy, egg, and spices and was served heated.
Flip Recipe: Beat an egg yolk into an ounce of brandy. Heat two ounces of ale, one ounce of lemon juice, a tablespoonful of sugar, and a pinch of ginger. When the sugar has dissolved, beat in the brandy and egg mixture. Pour it into a mug; top it off with an additional ten ounces of ale, stir well, and serve.
