As the back of the bottle reads, “Abuelo 7 Años is a rich blend of superb rums; aged for 7 years in carefully selected, small oak barrels.” The process of creating a rum is always intriguing but there is one part of the distillation process I enjoy most of all: drinking.
A creamy textured cocktail with great pineapple structure. The Pineapple Bomber is like its own unique brand of alcohols in flavor style, while warm and inviting (in a cold way) the cocktail brings its own unique style and grace to the collins glass without tasting like any one spirit. Sure, you’ll get some flavors of [...]
Midori makes a return today (but not all week) for the Green Eyes Cocktail. This cocktail brings more of a sour bite than we typically seem to be making (not on purpose). The taste is deliciously sour, it won’t tear your face off with sours but it will nip at your tender cheek loins. Great [...]
The Bravo Cocktail is fully of juicy flavors from orange juice to apple schnapps. For potency we’re using some flor de caña light rum and a bit of christiania vodka finished with some creme de banane (banana liqueur). This is a good example of an island cocktail with lots of fruit flavors. Show Links: Get [...]
The Illusion cocktail has a fabulous color using some basic alcohols each having their own cool coloring. You’ll get a nice slightly sweet cocktail with hints of midori but nothing screaming “melon” in this drink. The finish is slightly hot (presumably from the alcohols) and ends with a neat coconut finish. Does anyone get any [...]

As the usual, pineapple and coconut mix well together even if the [...]
We’re pulling out the Don Q Limón Rum with some champagne and blue curacao. If you’re thinking about serving champagne for the evening festivities perhaps adding some fancy blue will impress the guests. This can be a good drink to get you through the start of 2010.
We are blessed throughout the year with great spirits, cocktails and accessories. Since our primary focus is reviewing “everyday drinking” equipment and spirits, we receive a lot of products to sit down and work with so we believe it’s time to build our holiday gift list. This list is good for the cocktail drinker, the [...]
Finally, our 10 Cane Spiced Apple Punch. So far we’ve sent out over half the packets to our viewers so they can follow along or save it for a hoilday party. Even if you’re not ready to follow along yet, you can gather an idea of a punch you can utilize for this upcoming Thanksgiving [...]
More Apples! We’re excited to have Havana Club rum in the house, literally. This Cuban rum isn’t exactly something you can easily get in the United States, so substitute your favorite dark rum (Goslings!?) in its place if you cannot get this product. The Candy Apple Cocktail is tasty, fruity, juice and a worthwhile cocktail [...]
