Cocktails with Zacapa Rum 23 on National Rum Day!

August 16, 2015 / Bullz-Eye Staff

WE never need a good excuse to enjoy a good rum cocktail, but National Rum Day seems like a very convenient reason to crack open a bottle of great rum and enjoy a delicious drink!

Today is National Rum Day and we have some great cocktail recipes courtesy of Zacapa Rum 23. Hailing from Guatemala, Zacapa Rum is a rich and complex rum that has a smooth and delicious flavor profile that lends itself to both sipping neat or on the rocks or mixing in inventive cocktails. We tried it neat and in some traditional mixes like rum and cola and we loved it.

If you want to try something new, however, New York City mixologist Jane Danger has crafted a few tiki-inspired recipes with this delicious rum for your enjoyment:

Sugar Cane Honey Magik

Ingredients:
1 50 ml Zacapa Rum 23 Bottle
2 1/2 ounces Toasted Coconut Almond Cream*
3/4 ounce Pineapple Juice

Oops – Accidently Pumping Gasoline into a Diesel Vehicle

August 15, 2015 / Bullz-Eye Staff

Accidents happen. The size of a gasoline pump nozzle is smaller than that of a diesel pump nozzle. As a result, if you are distracted, it’s easy to pump gasoline into a diesel car. So what do you do if this happens to you? Let’s take a look at three different scenarios:

1) You essentially filled your diesel car’s tank with gasoline

If this has occurred, then stop filling the car and arrange to have your car towed to a service station and have the tank drained. Don’t try to start the engine. Diesel engines operate at very high compression and having a volatile fuel like gasoline being pumped into the combustion chambers is probably going to damage the engine.

Heatstroke and Kid’s Left in Cars

August 14, 2015 / Bullz-Eye Staff

It seems every summer that we are bombarded with stories concerning children that have been left in hot vehicles and have died. In the past two decades, some 750 U.S. children have died in hot vehicles, according to KidsAndCars.org, a nonprofit child safety organization.

Experts explain why it happens. Most of the parents involved aren’t malicious; they are simply busier, under a lot of stress, and often sleep deprived. In virtually all cases, it’s just an accident or slip in judgement. “About half of the time, a parent just forgets the child was in the car,” said Kyran Quinlan, M.D., chair of the Council on Injury, Violence and Poison Prevention for the American Academy of Pediatrics. In other cases, a parent may decide to dash into a store, figuring he/she will be gone just a few minutes, but then gets delayed and returns to the vehicle to find his child has undergone heatstroke.

Games can take up much of the day, during which players get to drink in the serene surroundings generally associated with a golf course. Here, we take a look at the seven best golf courses in the world, and what it is that makes them so special.

A Need for Speed On and Off the Screen: playing games in the real and digital world

August 11, 2015 / Bullz-Eye Staff

I don’t know about you, but sometimes when I think back to the good old days spending an evening with a six pack and a Need for Speed adrenalin fix to entertain me, all was good with the world. Just getting to see each car’s capabilities unfold as I upped their specs, leveling up as I rolled along with the gameplay, was exhilarating enough.

Even during the darnedest of realizations, like how our bank accounts are miles away from ever affording that sweet Bugatti, or the more sobering ones that make you realize you’re better off not ever getting the chance to ride a Lambo Gallardo. Because imagine just how real that pain would feel if you ever did crash it off screen.
