As you may know, it's Rum Month on Examiner.com. I love learning just how extensive the history of rum is here in the United States alone.<br /><br />Gotta leave it to the government to tax us on our vices. When it comes to our boozes, Americans always seem to persevere.

Excellent article. As you may know, it’s Rum Month on Examiner.com. I love learning just how extensive the history of rum is here in the United States alone.

Gotta leave it to the government to tax us on our vices. When it comes to our boozes, Americans always seem to persevere.

Especially bought in Maui for 1/2 price!<br /><br />Question: What are you using for the "peach brandy" in the Fish House Punch? Damned if I can find anything that works.<br /><br />Thanks!

Question: What are you using for the “peach brandy” in the Fish House Punch? Damned if I can find anything that works.

Thanks!

I think we, as Americans, seem to forget we actually have a fairly extensive history. Most of us look towards Europe and ancient islands in search of culture and history when we've got some right here on this big island. Sure, we're looking at a small slice in time compared to other countries, but we should respect the work and effort and spirits that got us to where we are today.<br /><br />Granted, I can't see seven shots of rum a day being good for anyone, I don't care how much you hated British rule ;-)<br /><br />Rum and other spirits play such a big role in our history, it still amazes me that we prohibited it for so many years. We've grown from such foolishness thankfully, and now we can enjoy all life has to offer from sugar cane to wormwood to the rice brewed Sake.<br /><br />Can't wait for part 2.

Nice article. I think we, as Americans, seem to forget we actually have a fairly extensive history.

Granted, I can’t see seven shots of rum a day being good for anyone, I don’t care how much you hated British rule ;-)
