A good friend of ours really dislikes rum but recently had a Cruzan punch I made and he commented on how different it tasted than drinks made with B rum. He really liked the Cruzan.

Since discovering it back in 1995, Cruzan is the only rum I buy any more.

Parrothead friend went to the recent JB concert in Atlanta. He and his wife bought some big strawberries and hollowed out the inside. Then dipped them in chocolate and let it harden. Then filled them with Grand Marnier and re-capped them. Said it worked great. Sounds like it would be good with Cruzan as well.

That's what we call an "ice princess".

Rumor has it that it works with many different distilled spirits.

Back on rum, surfnh - the Appleton Estate, from Jamaica, is also a pretty good rum for doing straight shots.

So I've heard...

This from the traveler who hit how many beach bars and tried how many different rum punches and other tropical drinks in Anguilla?
What I wanna know is how many of the Anguilla photos required straightening of the horizon with your software...

Hmmmm did that at a Chesney tailgate too...kind of forgot about it til I read your post...things got a little fuzzy that day... Had one heck of a time...was the Chesney concert in Dallas that had the pouring rain storm..one of the best tailgates/concerts EVER!

Interesting story as it pertains to myself and Cruzan Rum. Back in the early 90's I lived on St Croix and became friends and later roommates with the rum "chemist" there. As our relationship and rum affliction grew, I brought up the lack of a spiced rum from the Cruzan rum family. Well, low and behold, soon I was introduced to many batches of non descript bottles only labeled with a Sharpie and a number. I gave her my two cents....and eventually the Cruzan Clipper was born! I am not sure, however, as to my exact contribution, as I moved back to the States before it was distilled in its original recipe and distributed. All I remember is that I never had to buy any rum! All the "test" batches were well received by me and my guests! Anyway...Cruzan Rum Rocks!

Yep, Appleton is a good one, I agree. I recall seeing a rum documentary on Jamaica recently, I think the local drink is the 150 proof stuff primarily, that's what they all like. Ouch!

I just checked my rum cabinet and I have a few to add to the list. Barcelo Imperial from The Dominican Republic. Matsusalem and Zacapa from Guatemala. Pampero from Venezuela. And most important, Zaya. Zaya is now made in Trinidad, but I still have two bottles from their original distillery in Guatemala. Zaya is the most amazing liquor on the planet. Cruzan used to make a 5 year rum called Estate Diamond. It was the best value, period. When I found out they were stopping production, I cleaned out the North Eastern United States. Twenty three beautiful bottles. Yep, 23!
