Sippin' Rum

[Grey]

There's a local distillery (near Lake Charles) that opened a couple of years ago, Bayou Rum. Its claim to fame is that it uses local cane sugar. I'm not much of a rum drinker, but I need to stop by and grab a bottle.

Grab me one too... [emoji28]

Speak of the devil, I just picked up a bottle of coconut rum to experiment with. Someone passed me a cocktail made with the stuff at a con party earlier this month and it tasted far better than my usual vodka-based choices.

Sure, it's a girly drink, but I drink to be drunk, so the more tolerable it is to my tastebuds, the better. If anyone's got suggestions for simple coconut rum recipes, I'd appreciate suggestions.

I'm a fan of the "girly" rum drinks. Actually drinking coconut rum and Sprite. A shot or shot'n'half of rum to 12oz Sprite over ice.

I've found a good local rum, Privateer Rum out of Ipswitchn MA.

That's the way I take it.

Koloa Rum Company - fine spirits

So we were in their tasting room at the Kilohana Plantation*...

and the guy running the sales store is a retired 11B50. He gave me "the retired NCO discount". The other guys in line asked if their was a "retired naval officer discount."
"No, there's a surcharge..."



(In order to run a tasting room in the state of Hawai'i, it has to be attached to the distillery. But the main facility can't accommodate the crowds, and besides, the Kilohana Plantation is a major tourist trap I mean stop. So they fire up this 50 gallon pot still once a year...)

Good stuff. Great day when the state of Washington deigned to allow it to be sold in stores here...


*Also the best tourist luau we've been to. Not some cheesy Vegas-style review, an actual story. With fire dancers.

Anything from Plantation. Canasteros is great, too.

El Dorado 21 is my favorite sipping rum! The 15 is OK and doesn’t feel like a sin if you drop in some coke.

Zaya is great, like liquid candy for men.

Any of the Matusalem aged rums are pretty awesome.

Barcardi 8 is petty good.
