The Tale of the Drifter…
There was a man from a small fishing village in the Caribbean who had his heart broken by a young woman when she sailed away with another man. He was crushed. He vowed to find her again and spent the rest of his life searching for his one true love. Over the years he took on many jobs, mostly sea crewing on boats transporting fruits to various islands. In every port he searched for 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 must have been hidden by bootleggers. It was filled with rum! He spent weeks drowning his sorrows until there 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 and made it his home. He spent his days fishing, turtling, and gardening. Occasionally he walked to George Town to barter his homegrown limes, mint, ginger and tobacco for some basic staples and of 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 to celebrate the legacy of The Drifter with his signature cocktail. Raise your glass in a toast to his passion, determination and sense of adventure. May we all have a bit of the Drifter spirit in us!
