Dark rums and associated drinks....

I drink rum 80% of the time if I'm drinking, and this one blows all others out of the water, IMO. It's almost $40, but so good.

Dark and Stormy is great. Squeeze a bit of lime in it as well.


You should also try mixing ginger ale, bourbon and a few drops of bitters. I don't recall the name of this drink, but it's my go to currently. I do about 1/3 buffalo trace and 2/3 ginger ale (fever tree brand) and a couple dashes of bitters. Killer stuff.

I have not heard of Buffalo Rock GA. Where do you get this? I would like to try it

Developed this one on vacation in Myrtle Beach after returning from the DR. It utilizes an affordable Dominican aged rum but was created in MB hence the name.

Crepe Myrtle
3oz Ron Barcelo Añejo
1 1/2oz Aperol
3/4oz sour mix
(Sauza Margarita Mix works best)
1/2oz fresh squeezed oj
1/2oz fresh squeezed lime juice

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake to blend & pour over ice in rocks glass.

Garnish with Meyer's rum float.

The rum old fashion at Cure is one of the better twists on a classic. Easy to replicate at home with good aged rum.

I am not a rum aficionado by any means, but I do enjoy it on occasion.

If any of you travel near Lacassine I recommend calling Bayou Rum for a tour and tasting. It's handcrafted rum facility and they packaged it beautifully. Tour takes about 20 minutes then they let you sample. They have dark, spiced, white and a citrus.

My aunt is from the Dominican Republic. She introduced us to Brugal. We drink it with a little orange and pineapple juice. Some of the better ones you can drink on the rocks!
