Our Favorite Bartenders: Rich

Today we stop by High Tide for Happy Hour and hook up with Rich Schulenberg, a High Tide bartender who is the very definition of “cool guy.”

Rich makes an Ocean Runner for us, a wicked cocktail with a whole lot of booze in it. In fact, High Tide sets a limit on this drink: Two per customer.

Check out Rich, and have an Ocean Runner, below!

    Could you send me one of those. After shoveling 2ft of snow over the weekend and another foot today (We have about another 6 inches already and it’s still snowing), I’m going to need one to ease the muscle pain. I WANT MY ST JOHN!!!!!

    Rich, clicked on your back story. Love your truck! It reminds me of my hippie days and all those painted VWs. Jeff, I have been going through the archives and in Oct of ‘o7 I read about the Jeep Cam DVD. Did you ever make one and if so, is it still available? How about a Beach Cam one? Am very interested in getting both since I get the shakes when my St.John addiction needs a fix. Someone…HELP ME PLEASE!

    The limit is 2? I’d be on my butt after just 1.

    Wish I had one though. It’s cold here with another 18-24″ of snow.

    Bring on Spring!!!

    Well, now, that was just cruel and unusual punishment, LOL! (If I squint my eyes just right, the 2 feet of snow outside looks a little like sand…ah, who the hell am I kidding…)

    Can you print up the ingredients? There was a lot of background noise between the “light rum” and the “black strap rum”. Cheers!

    Rich ~

    Bro! This is awesome! I cannot wait to come out and see you next month. We are going to have such a good time! I promise after two of those I will work hard not to embarrass you or our family. Just kidding, I can’t guarantee that so I will stick to just one. Love you!

    Rich,

    Well deserved accolades! Of course, we enjoyed many more drinks than just the ocean runner, but it was by far the most exceptional one. We all miss you and say hello to Jen!

    Hey Rich,
    So good to ‘see’ you! How fun to see you and hear your voice after all these months away from St. John. Miss you very much and miss my little island too. Can’t wait to return sometime soon.
    Hugs,
    Deb
