This is Rum and Ting (also called Wray and Ting or Ting with a Sting) is common cocktail found throughout Jamaica. It's two ingredient highball consisting of white overproof jamaican rum and Ting, a popular soda made from Caribbean grapefruit. The "invention" of this cocktail is hard to pinpoint a time, person and place, but Ting was introduced in 1976 and advertising for "Wray & Ting" exists in the early 2000's.
Understanding Rum and Ting as a cocktail is to understand how Jamaicans enjoy jamaican rum. In Jamaican, there are many tiny colorful rum shops where rum is not served mixed up into a drink, but by the bottle (often a 200 milliliter flask) with a cup of ice, fresh lime and Ting (or other fizzy mixers of their choice) leaving the patrons to combine it to their liking. There's an estimated 20,000 of these rum shops, most no bigger than a shipping container. It's a laid-back atmosphere, no pomp or circumstance.
As for the how the drink tastes, overproof jamaican rums have an intense "hogo" or funk from the particular fermentation methods that jamaican rum is known for. This is not a subtle spirit, when combined "quieter" ingredients, these rums shout over everything. It's for this reason that Ting manages to stand up properly to offset this intensity. Much like the carefree way Rum and Ting is consumed, so is the recipe for making it. Measuring can seem overly formal, but for your first time, I would recommend it since these rums are typically 126 proof.
1.5 oz overproof white jamaican rum (see note)
4 oz (approx.) Ting (other grapefruit sodas can substitute, see note)
Add a splash of soda into the bottom of your cup. Add ice gently, then the rum. Top with Ting. Gently stir to combine. Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel.
Note about rum: The three most popular white jamaican rum are Wray & Nephew, Rum-Bar, and Rum Fire which are all recommended.
Note about soda: Ting can be hard to find in the states, so substitutes need to be a bit more tart and bitter and not too sweet to be able to match up effectively. A splash of lime juice can help with this substitution.

The first time I heard of Ting was 5 years ago traveling through the Antigua airport with Caribbean colleagues. This being my first time in the OECS, with only 1 previous visit to Jamaica, I had never come across Ting ("from Jamaican grapefruit"!) before. I like it though, even if you can't get in in T&T or Guyana...not sure if it's available in Barbados. Carbonated grapefruit juice - tangy and not too sweet...yum...
it's a Jamaican softdrink, although it is also now bottled also in St Kitts (this bottle said "from Caribbean grapefruit").
Tingi novos cadarços de diversas espessuras na semana passada e agora eles estão totalmente secos - não sei porque demora uma eternidade para secar... Consegui lindas cores mas, como sempre, algumas ficaram muito escuras e diferentes quando secaram. Mas aproveita-se tudo neste estúdio.

You’d perhaps like to think that a choir of angels would be a beautiful thing to behold - and it can be. But it really depends on which angels are doing the singing. There is a strict hierarchy of angels and Tommy here is on the lowest rung. He’s got his wings but he’s not been given the angelic singing lessons yet and, as you can tell, still has a bit of earthly attitude to shed. I’m pretty sure he’ll get there at some point though. Until then he’ll have to put up with sounding like a cat singing through a vocoder…
‘When Angels Ting’ is on one big old bit of paper measuring 100 x 140cm and has been created using the magic of spray paint, acrylic paint, watercolour and paint pen. He’s very much available to a good home so drop us a line or he’ll be on our new website (www.id-iom.com/) in due course.
