Zaya: inchoative verb form meaning flat, as in
Extraña, esta soda del club es zaya.
you’re joking, right?
can i both hate foodies and get into reviews like that?
booze v food
damn i wanna try that ron zacapa 23 like right now
do it!
and then report back.
found that ron zacapa at $38 a bottle (klwines.com) + shipping which is actually a little less than i thought it’d be.
you tried it yet? doubt my local spots will have it. probably have to make a trip to here
haven’t had zacapa, at least not to remember. maybe at a bar once.
what about that el dorado? have you had it? the word demerara scares me. i’m curious if they all seem like poison, or if it’s lemon hart.
^or if it’s just lemon hart.
we bought a hell of a lot of rum this last couple of days.
i had bacardi gold 2nite :——————(
yow
from the back of the mount gay barbados sugar cane rum bottle:
Homage to the Cane
With sugar cane having been for so long the lifeblood of Mount Gay, and, one might suggest, of Barbados as well, it’s fitting that a great rum should commemorate its qualities. [...]
Consistently smooth. Full-bodied. Unique. A homage to the cane.
i do not think i appreciate Rogue Hazelnut Spiced Rum.
it might be good in banana bread, but it’s not good with soda and lime.
aw that’s too bad. thanks to jj anyway
oh yes, i should clarify: i appreciate the gift of the rum. it just doesn’t work in a rickey.
j passed along the suggestion of making a dark and stormy with it. we should try.
tonight i am going to enjoy some rum, but i don’t know yet what kind. options in the cupboard are:
rogue
mount gay
cruzan light
barralito
cockspur 12
flor de cana 7
lemon hart
cachaca
flor de cana
flor de cana it is!
as corporate sponsors go, i approve of this more than most
it’s someplace tropical, so it makes better sense. if only the drinks were cheap. you know they’re not though
also amphitheatre morelike assitheatre
yes. amphitheatres more like armpittheatre
LOL like actually out loud!
hahaa
sea wynde more like i’d rather pee in the wind and try to drink it
ok it looks nice but not 13$ a snifter nice
fuck a unsubtle ‘wynde’
Sea Wynde is an astonishing marriage of five pure pot still rums from these countries.
seems fucked up that they’d have to combine so many. what does that say? ONE BARREL
need a reggae song about one barrel
these countries are jamaica and guyana which don’t even touch
rum defying the laws of geography
you can’t make it yourself why you gotta fly it in?
and then mix it? it’s like they don’t believe in themselves
lingbert dropping in on the 21year flor de cane like boom and me not even knowing it
the one and only pum pum appreciation thread
rum, tomorrow i am going to appreciate you
what are other rum drinks to order at bars? rum+coke is tired 4 me. i had appleton recently which was good

cannot recommend enough to try:
rum and soda with lime (ask for two at a bar, cut a quarter for yourself at home).
try cockspur, mt. gay, flor de cana.
report your findings, please.
(by soda she means club soda)
drinking rum with soda water strips away external flavors and leaves you with the four basic elements. the ice matters, but the amount is mostly personal preference. the soda water has to be fizzing, not flat. the lime is an overlooked element. gotta be juicy. good rum makes such a difference with this drink, since it has to stand so tall.
i always said shot glasses were for pussies but i’ve changed my tune. the shot glass has allowed me to get scientific
(okay upon a re-read the first part of that is totally obvious but maybe i had to write it out to realize it? of fucking course a lime has to be juicy. of course you don’t want flat soda water. i guess this is what i think through as i make them so yeah)
i will try this next time.
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 -_-
“i always said shot glasses were for pussies but i’ve changed my tune. the shot glass has allowed me to get scientific”
now you’re a scientific pussy
WANT

WANT NEED club soda maker
ive had 3 dark and stormies so far today
goslings?
awesome
in the house: goslings black and club soda
XD
i like it
with lime?
no lime or ice
hardman style
balls out
no pants
i didn’t have ice made and forgot to buy limes. its ok though, its pretty smooth
i hate filling ice trays.
since jergins is gone for a few days guaranteed i will be buying a bag of ice.
wait till you run out of soda but you’ve drunk enough that you think tap water will be just as good. at that point you will be right.
or you don’t have lime so you use lemon. instead of calling it a rum rickey, you should please call it a rum lxy.
because i invented it.
i hate filling ice trays.
lol
the soda is already flat >_<

haha it’s named after a dog. have you been there?
soda: a chronic problem in this house. but not for long because soon we will have this:
xp if those two think they’re hiding their cigarettes from the camera, they are mistaken
i haven’t been there. why did do they call the dead dog their “son”??
rate these liquor store prices
pyrat $32
10 cane $37
barbancourt i don’t remember, they had 4 and 8yr
also sailor jerry’s—shit or the shit?
why did do why did do
woody’s might be cool in a cheesy way
those prices seem on par to our liquor stores.
maybe estela can give us some perspective on the dog question. certainly no one in this house can. also, isn’t woody a weird name for a dog?
that said, i would go to woody’s, yeah, totally.
sailor jerry’s is SHIT for SURE. do not buy!
ha there was jug of sailor jerrys for cheap which was a red flag imo. also the label looks stupid. also that name.
Woody,our wonderful friend and son was laid to rest on December 23rd 2005.
srsly thought this was a person at first. RIP
maybe in his last moments woody fixed his wise sad brown eyes on them and made them promise they would always call him their son and they said alright.
i had another meyers’s dark and stormy last night, this is fast becoming a fave drink, i wish more bars had ginger beer
haha link http://www.refinedvices.com
ok i can just keep drinking this ain’t no stoppin us now
i liked last night’s grand harbor or old english or whatever it was. i mean it was not el dorado 15, but that’s not really a fair comparison.
english harbour, that’s what it is.
oh yeah and then finished the night with aniversario oh my god that stuff is good
ns*:
*now sipping
you like?
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
