The 21 reminds me of the v/x - - -but all grown up.

My problem is i don't believe in better or worse. . . Things work, or they don't. . .
Sometimes, that is the way it goes..
i "generally" prefer 'younger' rums (rhums, ron--etc) so i know what you mean..
There is not a problem with that!
As a search . . .embrace discovery! You can taste so much--with no rules!-- H A V E FUN!!!

It is rum for goodness sake!

That and to avoid the DUI's, only kidding, hope you take that in jest.

Last night i was out and i had an amazingly tasty Rum Drink @ 320 in Seal Beach called the 'Scintillator' (Zaya Rum, Grand Marnier, Absinthe, Bitters. )
If you are in the area-- definitely check that place out!


Today it was simple: Rum and Coffee--6 of them...
Not very exciting-- but there it is..

last night it was cachaca cocktails:
i guess they would be cachaca Lime Sour's -- basically-- but tasty!

[forrest]

i started with a Cachaca Sour <or 3.5>, but . . .

i started working on a "Fancy Sour" where the modifying liqueur is Macadamia Liqueur-- and now on my 4th-- i'll say TASTY! When i 'detail' the measurements i'll post it...
oh yeah and i have to name it...

Thursday night-- is alright by me... i'm going in for 5 (Which is actually 9 <8.5> because of the Sours...) so, i got that going for me. . .

Rum and Soda tonight...

i started with Brugal Extra Viejo . . .
With every intention of having it neat...
didn't work. Added ice and-- it was alright. . .
Soda. . . oh yeah- tasty!
So i finished the the Brugal Extra Viejo, and now i am having Ron Botran Oro and soda {with a dash of bitters}and frankly--- i like it more....

Welcome--to the Connoisseur's Cabinet . . .

Tonight it was Cockspur. . .

Last night i was working on 'Room-Temp' cocktails-- just a concept, but i am making strides... i did have a couple different Ron Cartavio's neat (Gran Black and Anniverario) and i liked them...

Started with Earl Grey (2 Bags, long steep 4-5 oz boiling water) add 4 oz Barbancourt White.

Moved to 2 Bag earl Grey 1 Bag Mango (same process) 4-5 oz Barbancourt White

The Steep is happening on my 3rd and it is Raspberry leaf, Chamomile, Earl Grey (Same Process) and will be augmented with Cuca Fresca Cachaca --4 oz.
