Mixology recommendations?

Post by Kentuckygirl »

Hey everyone! I've been away from the forum for too many days. I had to attend to some personal medical needs. Gee it's no fun getting older!! Anyway, now I'm ready to get into our final planning!! :lol: I need help with suggestions for our mixology order(esp. wine suggestions). We are definitely going to get beer, rum, bourbon, and mixers. We are also planning on getting some wine, but I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions of something good to get there that we might not think of. I hate to go there and pay a premium for California wine that we can get here for next to nothing. We are looking for a couple of reds, white, sparkling (for mimosas). We are not very picky! ... something good, not real pricey would be great! Thanks for any suggestions!!
Love you all and miss you!! kentuckygirl

Mount Gay Extra Old is a great aged sipping rum that is not too expensive. I like it better than the Cruzan over oaked old rum.

Thank you Rick! I will try that rum!
Have you thrown off your countdown since you are down to the night before? I only see lines!

You all have a great trip! I'll be looking forward to your reports!!

I'm doing Mixology for the first time this but we don't get back until the 20th so I won't be able to give you a report. Heard good things here on the forum so I hope it works out for both of us.

I ordered quite a bit from Mixology on our last trip. Bottled water was cheaper there than at Starfish Market---and it was delivered to our villa! Check with Gary Moses, the owner of Mixology, on what wine he would recommend in the price range you're thinking about.

RickG, talk about some great sipping rums. Went to a rum tasting dinner and had some super great real smooth sipping rums from Nicaragua and Guatamala. Some of the best I've had. D**n smooth.

Thank you all! I sent them an email yesterday a few questions and I'm waiting to hear back.

Iowaguy,
Thanks for the water suggestion! I mentioned in our email that we would probably want several cases. Is there anything else that we should add? Thanks!!
