Sounds like fun.

Personally I prefer Black Russions.  My final job interview with the
president of the company that moved me to Seattle was on his boat in
Annapolis.  His wife gave me a Black Russion in a glass large enough to be
considered a bucket, leaving me in a state that required my sleeping on
their couch that night.  I had a similar experience when I was halfway
through my 2nd Pina Colada at a friends, when I realized he was making them
with 151 proof rum.
