Couple of good rum links
I’m back! Had to take a vacation of several days to catch up on other matters. But today I’m back with two good links for rum drinkers.
This Post-Bulletin article lists some of the things you can do with rum. It lists variations on old favorites, such as the Orville Redrum, which you replace the regular rum in a rum and Coke with vanilla rum. It is so named because it has been said to taste like buttered popcorn. The article also covers daiquiris, mojitos, and other rum-based drinks.
You can find recipes for a few more rum drinks here on CityPages - in particular, you’ll learn how to make a Hemingway Daiquiri, and Myrtle Bank Punch. The article references a great book, And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails. The book “tells the raucously entertaining story of America as seen through the bottom of a drinking glass, from drinks consumed aboard ships in the 1700s to the trendy club drinks of modern times. Where was this book when I took history in college? Sounds like it would make a great textbook.
