A spiced rum like this would definitely pair well with the sweetness of Coca Cola or used in a spiced rum recipe in which the cinnamon will work well (probably a cocktail without cinnamon schnapps.) The Lash Spiced Rum is 35% ABV and the spices in the bottle take a front seat with the rum being in the back seat for this ride.
Here is a little video tasting of chai liqueur, something that arrived for review in the mail this week. I didn’t get a chance to try it throughout the week so I busted it out before nightfall last night and gave it a good ol’ taste. This is my first experience with Chai Liqueur of any type.
We’re tasting chocolate liqueur, six different brands flavors and types to taste the differences. Bols, Llords, Dekuypers, Godiva, Arrow and Hiram Walker. Believe it or not, there are huge differences between each brand of Chocolate Liqueur, enough so that this tasting might prove beneficial to those “on the edge.”
The pear; it’s one of my favorite fruits in the world. I have grown three pear trees in my front yard and harvest the pears each season to create some of the most naturally juicy fruit I’ve never had. I’ve got experience with the fruit and I’ve got my hands on some Xanté Pear Liqueur, supposedly one of the most sexy and sensual liqueurs you can find.
We’re making the rum swizzle, give times, with five brands of dark rum including: Don Q Añejo, Flor de Caña, Bacardi 8, Cruzan Aged and Gosling’s Black Seal. The Rum Swizzle recipe includes:
* 2 oz Dark Rum
* 1/2 oz. Lemon Juice
* 1/2 oz. Triple Sec
* 5-6 oz. Ginger Ale

Today we’re tasting Blanco/Plata/Silver and White Tequila… because they all mean the same thing! You’ll find only 100% de Agave on the table and each brand brings its own unique charm and character for good or bad. We’ve got Patrón Silver, Sauza Hornito’s Plata, Republic Tequila Blanco, Cabo Wabo Silver and El Gran Jubileo Blanco.
We’re busting out the Irish Cream in ways we didn’t even know we could. We’ve always assumed Bailey’s Irish Cream was the only product on the market in our region but we were wrong. We picked up Saint Brendan’s, Irish Manor, Emmets, Ryan’s and put them to the test with our old faithful, Bailey’s Irish Cream.
We’re mixing the Woo Woo recipe with our vodka brands: Tito’s, Christiania, Absolut, Smirnoff and Gray Goose.
The four gin brands include g’vine, martin miller, tanqueray and bombay sapphire. We build Tom Collins, taste and tell you the difference.
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.
