the one and only RUM appreciation thread

pretty good, kinda sweeter than i'm used to. the bottle sux! it looks nice but its hard to pour w/out spilling

it does sux! but i am def a fan of the shorty bottles.

i am drinking some of jergins' fancypants el dorado on account of (somehow) feeling like i deserve it because i drove around and around and hither and yon and could not find art primo store and so just came home. so lame.

how do i pour it with 0% spillage? is there a trick or am i stupid

should have got something else with it as this is something i'll probably drink every so often. i was eyeing mt gay, barbancourt, 10 cane and johnny walker

maybe the cloth ribbon is there to catch the spillage and you're supposed to wring it out into your glass

it's a stupid bottle is what.

maybe you're supposed to use the saturated ribbon as a sachet to scent your hankie drawer.

or maybe i should go post on the victorian board, eh?

anyway back to the important topic: you should totally buy mt gay. is tops.

10 cane is super sweet and flowery and it'll make you sugar-high.

barbancourt, okay but not great i guess cause we didn't keep buying it.

i never had johnny walker but jergins likes it.

am0n you try to find pampero aniversario; it is so good.

*should*

(i reminded myself of jamiee stewart just now)

Mixed drinks with Tab: According to a reader, Rum and Tab is a 
good twist on the classic Rum and Coke. I have formulated some of my 
own soda-mixtures including Tab. If you are fortunate enough to be 
able to get Moxie and/or Mr. Pibb in your area, here are some good 
combinations to try (these are just what I've tried; experiment with it!):

the lol/important part is According to a reader, Rum and Tab is a good twist on the classic Rum and Coke.

it is precisely because of dumb college drinking of rum and tab that i couldn't drink rum for years and years. probably also had a lot to do with the quality of the rum. and college. and dumb.

cruzan black strap is good. one of the best values you can find. seriously, even though it sounds totally corny.

did you make a necklace out of your pyrat buddha medallion?

also lol Tab Soda Web

tab html fixed XD

i don't know if i can throw away the medallion

i forgot i ordered a shot of some other kind a few weeks ago that was good and i don't remember what it was -_-

Iced Jamaican Coffee

An iced version of the popular Jamaican coffee cocktail. It's a nicely creamy iced coffee, with the smooth warmth of dark rum and Tia Maria.
Ingredients:

* 1 oz dark rum
* 1 oz Tia Maria
* 3/4 oz heavy cream
* 4 oz chilled coffee
* Crushed ice

Preparation:
Combine liqueurs, coffee and cream. Partially fill a wine glass with crushed ice, and pour mixture over ice. Serve.

i just made up a recipe:

~8 oz. hot black coffee
1 shot dark rum
half and half to taste

calling it "The Needful."
and now i will do it.

(it's not that good, btw. but it serves the purpose of bridging the gap between "coffee time" and "drinks time.")
