Or some good 'ol Oronoco Brazilian white, or just a simple Appleton White. Anyway keep up the good work. How about a little Kilo Kai Spiced from Curacao?

I love it! Really nice site as well. Questions: I live in a provincial backwater in northern New Mexico and find some of these rums difficult to find ('cept Sailor Jerry's). So I was wondering how everyone felt about bacardi 151 for an overproof and Pusser's 15 yr. old for an aged? I can also get a few Appleton's.

Yes, Smuggler's Cove opened my eyes to the world of amazing rum cocktails! The drinks I had there during their soft opening blew me away and started my recent obsession which brought me to your site (the recipe for falernum which I made recently). Happy to say I'll be spending NYE at Smuggler's, so I'm looking forward to trying some new cocktails. Otherwise I'll keep an eye on your site for some good, simple rum cocktails and more Rum 101!

The holidays seemed to somewhat mandate holiday drinks, but rest assured that there will be more about "what do do with your rum" coming up. Actually, most of the newer rum reviews include at least one cocktail, and future reviews will likely include several suggestions, while the cocktail posts will start including rum recommendations as well. Keep up the good drinking! Smith & Cross is a great place to start. Might I hazard a guess that the new bar you're referring to is Smuggler's Cove? There are more Rum 101 posts in the pipe.

With all the various types and styles of rums out there, what cocktails/mixers is each type of rum best suited for? For example, white/silver is referenced above for mojitos and aged rum for mai tais. This seems key to enjoying rum more-- what do I do with it? What are some general guidelines for mixing?

I used to have bad associations with rum drinks and especially tiki drinks but I've seen the light! Rum drinks can be deliciously complex without being cloyingly sweet-- yay! My new challenge is figuring out what cocktails to make myself at home. I've recently made a batch of falernum so I have that to start with. I can make a pretty delicious cocktail with falernum, citrus, and this half-empty bottle of Smith & Cross. But what else? I appreciate the rum recommendations above but would love to hear some suggestions of simple rum cocktails. Maybe something besides a mojito, unless that's what all you rum lovers are drinking at home! Rum!! Thanks! Hi all,
