We know which rum was our favorite from last episode, but we don’t know which one tastes the best in a cocktail. Presumably the cocktail that tasted best when tested straight should be the winner, right?
After all, the best spirits make the best ingredients for a cocktail. Of course, all of these coconut rums are [...]
We’re tasting coconut rums this week. We’ve got Cruzan, Malibu, Parrot Bay and Don Q coconut rums. What’s your favorite? What cocktails do you create with it? Don’t forget to checkout the show now showing at AlcoholsByVolume.com.
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 hints [...]
Every now and again there is a drink that comes along that is way to easy to finish. You’ll probably find yourself having seconds and thirds before your good judgment kicks in. The Old Kungaloosh is such a drink, it’s sweet and inviting and asks you to stay around and chat like a friendly neighborhood [...]
Remember the summertime? For those not enjoying summer right now, we’ve got our memories of warmer times. To help remember those great times, we’ve got the suntan lotion. Oddly enough, this cocktail tastes really good if not too much like that of suntan lotion.
It’s another novelty cocktail with flavors that will make you giggle.

The name says it all! Okay, we’re not sure why it’s named the White Haired Monkey besides the slight tendrils of while hair. This cocktail brings in our Spirit of the Month: Cruzan Coconut Rum with a few friends in the name of banana liqueur and milk.
Chocolate coconut coffee, if that makes you salivate then [...]
The perfect Hawaiian drink, the Lava Flow. This drink is made up entirely of awesome. You’ve got great blended natural flavors, a thick consistency with enough rum to relax you on a hot day. We’re using Don Q rum again in this one, but you can use whatever you want. I’d suggest heading out and [...]
A true tropical beverage is not complete without the use of rum. The Kryptonite cocktail contains a lot of unique rums to give plenty of dimension to this green little drink. We’re using some Captain Morgan private stock again, so get out your bottles! ARG!
This would be a great drink for pirates because it’s got [...]
We’ve never met the elusive Beach Bum Bob, but hear he’s a nice guy. Each portion is equally controlled to exactly 1 oz and they mix into a nice coffee alternative or supplement. I’d suggest this as an after-dinner drink rather than something to sip after a hot day of mowing the lawn, but equally [...]
This week we’re starting the day right, with a bright green alien secretion. The proper blend of coconut rum (Cruzan), pineapple juice and Midori Melon Liqueur. This drink will satisfy the sweet tooth without bringing a huge sugar rush, it’s got sweets but it’s not overpowered by them.
Although bright green, the tropical flavors are undeniable [...]
