rum drinks

oddjob · #1 08-09-2006, 04:20 PM

recently i've discovered that the only booze that will get me drunk is rum. i don't like coke, so rum and cokes are out of the question. i also have no qualms about standing at a bar or club with a girly drink in my hand. but i don't want to order some ridiculous drink that will take the bartender a long time to make.

any suggestions?

There was a post earlier about daquari's that I think I will try this weekend. A real daquari is Rum, ice, sugar i think? Mojitos were also mentioned, I will try that to.

It's rum, sugar (or simple syrup, better since the sugar ususally doesn't dissolve), and lime juice. It's usually not served on the rocks.

ETA: make sure that you don't get some of those yuppie slushie things.

And yeah, if you don't care about having a girly drink in your hand, then a strawberry daquari is probably what you're looking for.

BTW, you can just go to webtender.com and then go to the 'in my bar' section. Mess around with a bunch of mixers and rum and see what list of drinks they give you.

edit: I see that a few people beat me to the punch here.

When you want a drink without sugar: Havana Club, lime, soda, mint leaves, ice. I like light HC in this one.

Anyone remembers the name? I think one of Hemingway's favourites was something like this, but this isn't the most famous one.

i don't want to be the guy that everyone waits on, so daiquari's are out.

when i got drunk on rum, i was mixing pretty much 2 kinds of cheap rum, pinneapple juice and grapefruit juice. everyone else thought it was disgusting, but i enjoyed it.

how is rum and oj? simple and easy. is there a name for this drink?

Dark rum and pineapple juice is pretty common.

Why not, if it's fresh-squeezed, but most ppl prefer it with vodka.

Try every variety of yellow blended juices and you'll find your favourite. Add grenadine or something when it's too sour. Also experiment with different kind of rums and Stroh too (an Austrian pseudo-rum booze, tastes great).
