Re: Recommended classic rum cocktails
Welcome to the Vices forum, Tiare. It's great to see you here from the MOR. How did the pineapple roasting go? I usually put some chunks into a heavy bottomed frying pan and get them going with some overproof rum, and maybe some cinnamon. Thanks Paul for your cocktail recipes. I have long been prefe...

Re: Appleton Cocktails
You might want to ignore that bit. Danny wanted to include all of the flavour notes that he found in Appleton Extra, and rather than add a leather note, he served his cocktail in a glass wrapped in a leather glove.
It was a stunning drink as I recall

Absolutely, love to rustle you up a Zombie! They make fantastic ones at the 2 quality tiki bars in London - Mahiki and at Trailer Happiness.

Re: Plantation Rum
I could get through 5 or 6 bottles of the Rum Nation Demerara 12 in a week. There are always takers when that gets opened around here and I'm always game
As I can't get anymore around here at the moment, you could pick it up for us and then pop over for a session to drink it!?!

Re: Plantation Rum
The plantation series are vintages assembled by a French collector. As vintages they are only available for a limited time. We've got the St Lucia, Grenada, Barbados, Jamaica and Guyana - none of which are outstanding to my mind. The better range is the Rum Nation range, bottled in Scotland availabl...

Sazerac is my favourite straight rye whiskey, or for a somewhat mellower bourbon, you could try Woodford Reserve which has quite a high rye content.Count Silvio wrote:I've never had rye whiskey. Can you recommend a good one? Also if one were to use bourbon for this recipe, which bourbon would you recommend?
