Please excuse the red-tint to the video, I have no idea how that happened but “it is what it is” and the next one will hopefully be less …. red.
We’re tasting some old aged rum, añejo if you will or “ron añejo,” from many different areas of the islands it seems. We’ve got Brugal, Matusalem, Pampero, Don Q Grand Añejo and Havana Club.
This drink has a few rums in it, five to be specific. The Cinco Drinko brings almost all the flavors of rum together to create a dink all its own, with a bit of pineapple juice to bring some thickness and structure. This is the first cocktail we’ve had a chance to use Malibu Banana rum in, but it won’t be the last I’m sure!
We’re creating the Burnt Embers cocktail, this cocktail recipe has a high focus of Gold Rum, which seems to be quite rare in a cocktail. We’re mixing the Burnt Embers cocktail with five different gold rums including: Mount Gay, Goslings, Don Q, Bacardi, Myers’s Gold Rums. The recipe breakdown is as follows, try it yourself
We’re adopting a southern recipe this week: the Texas Tea. Okay, the origins probably do not lie in the area of Texas as this is yet another “tea” style recipe that no doubt branched off of the Long Island Iced Tea. The big difference in this cocktail is the inclusion of Bourbon as a spirit. [...]

Of course, all of these coconut rums [...]

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. [...]
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 [...]
The Pink “Kitty,” also goes by the recipe name Pink Pussy but we’re not exactly happy with the naming convention of the original recipe so we changed it. This is a beautifully looking cocktail which reminds us much of a margarita with a distinct citrus finish. The limón rum (Don Q in our case) hides [...]
