Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

Last friday I felt like getting a bit drunk and I wasn't in the mood for beer so I bought a bottle of rum. As I expected, it tasted like crap but I consumed a lot of it by holding my nose while drinking. I still have over half the bottle left so I'm interested in some ways to consume it without having it taste so horrible.

Rum is used in a ton of girly drinks. I'm sure google has some good ideas.

Re: Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

Pour any amount into any vessel, add some Coke or other mixer if desired, and enjoy!

Re: Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

Um...There is this thing called a Rum and Coke. Try it, you might like it.

Re: Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

Pina colada.

The Painkiller

Mix in a 4:1:1 ratio pineapple juice:orange juice:cream of coconut. Serve in mug over ice, add as much rum as you dare, grate nutmeg over the top.

FYP ----Pineapple and Captain Morgans Rum

Re: Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

We need to know if this is spiced rum or not. 7up and spiced rum is delicious, tastes like cream soda.

Re: Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

Miami Vice.... Half frozen Pina Colada, half Frozen Strawberry Daqueri..... Cup should be half red and half white at serve. Mixes together a bit as it melts.... kinda girly, but goooooood.

Re: Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

1. Carve up a grapefruit
2. Make a fine rum punch
3. Toss in a blotter (optional)

I think you are thinking of a mojito, caipirinha is made w/ cachaca (sp?). A mojito, which is pretty similar, but its made w/ rum.

Re: Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

I usually hate spiced rum, btw, but in cold weather spiced rum and chai tea is very good. Not as good as a cold drink though.

Re: Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

Yeah, I really think the best solution is to buy better rum. Here are two to look for:

Cruzan estate light rum. For me, this stuff costs exactly the same as Bacardi, but it's much higher quality. They actually oak age it, so it's both smoother and more flavorful.

Mount Gay Barbados Rum. This is a gold colored rum, but it has more flavor than the cheaper dark rums. It's also a great buy.

Re: Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

either buy/drink good quality rum rather than the swill you get off the shelf at 7-11, or make a rum cake.

Re: Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

Zaya- straight up. nice.

I'm a big fan of spiced rum and coke.

Rum & Dr. Pepper is delicious.

Re: Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

Pour two ounces over ice, add the juice of a fresh lime. Arghhhhh

No, I'm thinking of a Caipirinha. It's not going to taste the same as one made with good Cachaca, but it will be good nonetheless. I don't like Mojitos because of the mint flavor.

Interestingly, consuming mass amounts of Cachaca have actually turned me back on to Tequila.

1 part rum to 37 parts cheap bourbon, shots.

Re: Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

my friend introduced me to cream soda and spiced rum last week.

its quite good, it tastes like cream soda.

Re: Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

anybody else had Castillo Spiced? It may be the highest quality of the low quality rums. It's fantastic.

rum, eh? cut open a hole in a watermelon and pour a handle of rum in, then, later, eat the watermelon.

Re: Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

I'll probably try Dr. Pepper or Cream Soda w/rum. I don't think the quality of rum really would matter to me as I hate the taste of alcohol in general except for beers and champagne.

Re: Non-disgusting ways to consume rum
 

Another great one when you're sick:

1 oz spiced or regular rum
Hot (microwaved) orange juice
some brown sugar

Really opens up the sinuses.

Edit: In fact, someone should start a thread this winter about hot alcoholic drinks.

There's a pretty notable difference in flavor between Cachaca and rum. A Caipirinha made with rum does not taste very good if you've ever had the real thing.

Not sure I agree. If you think about what cachaca actually is (distilled, fermented sugar cane juice, normally not aged) then this is exactly the same thing as a lot of basic non-aged rums. If you get the right raw-tasting kerosene-smelling rum (e.g., Ron Palido from Andalusia) you can do a very similar drink to a caipirinha.

Cachaca is like grappa: not originally thought of as a classy thing to drink at all, but elevated to a lofty position by decadent western alcoholics. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Gisborne, you've had a lot of good suggestions already about how to drink your rum. If you go down the rum and coke route cut a lime into quarters, squeeze one quarter into each glass and drop the squeezed segment in.

If you want to go over the top, you could try a La Floridita cocktail. (This is saved from girliness by the fact that Papa Hemingway used to drink them.) It's rum, rosso vermouth, lime juice, white creme de cacao, and a splash of grenadine. Shake over ice and strain. Can't recall exact proportions, sorry, but obviously more rum than anything else.
