307746 Sat Jul 08 14:11:16 -0700 2006 29 36 Spirits 0 1733264 I bought a bottle of Gosling's black seal Bermuda rum to use in an ice cream recipe (rice ice cream with rum-soaked fruits). I will probably make the ice cream again, but even so, there's quite a bit left. I don't usually drink rum, so I don't know what to do with it. Any suggestions for tasty drinks made wtih dark rum? I don't like sweet drinks. I prefer tart or bitter stuff. Gin & tonics, lemon drops, margaritas, etc. Thanks! Sat Jul 08 14:11:16 -0700 2006 12671 maillard 1 1733392 Try a dark 'n stormy. It's dark rum with ginger beer--not ginger ale--which keeps the sweetness from becoming cloying. There's a Bermudan brand that is the "official" mixer for a Gosling's dark 'n stormy, but I forget the name. Sat Jul 08 16:20:23 -0700 2006 1733264 17395 olfashiond 2 1733473 Oh! That's a great idea. I've never had a dark 'n stormy, but I love ginger beer. I'm partial to Reed's Extra-Ginger Ginger Beer. Maybe I'll pick some up tonight... Sat Jul 08 17:23:33 -0700 2006 1733392 12671 maillard 3 1736515 yes, yes, i use reed's from trader joe's. fill tall glass with ice, start with half a lime, squeeze the juice in, drop in the lime; pour rum over the lime and then fill glass with ginger beer, stir. Mon Jul 10 20:03:36 -0700 2006 1733473 16728 kenito799 2 1733577 I believe that's going to be Barritt's Ginger Beer. It's what we use at Trader Vic's, and it is pretty darn tasty.

It's a pleasant drink to have. Sat Jul 08 22:09:20 -0700 2006 1733264 10604 jacinthe 1 1739743 I've been meaning to make a rum baba someday, maybe you should try that, yo. I just like screaming it: RUM BABAAAAH! Wed Jul 12 05:17:16 -0700 2006 1733264 11709 hertzdonut 1 1742237 I recently saw the bartender at a local restaurant making a mojito using Meyer's dark rum. I didn't try it, but the idea of using dark rum instead of light was interesting. The 3 people drinking them had at least 2-3, so it must have been pretty good. Thu Jul 13 13:27:41 -0700 2006 1733264 12116 Ali G 1 1742856 Dark rum and spicy ginger ale (like Reed's) is awesome. OR! Make a lime rickey, fresh lime juice and soda water, maybe a little simple syrup (think TOm Collins porportions). But I like a classic margarita with dark rum: 2 parts dk rum, 1 part triple sec/grand marnier, 1 part fresh lime. (simple syrup optional). Of course, there's always lime/rum jello shots. Thu Jul 13 17:48:16 -0700 2006 1733264 18159 maggie 2 2045127 Add a little bit of orgeat (almond) syrup and cut back on the triple sec and you have yourself the classic Mai Tai. I usually make mine with a mix of Gosling's and Appleton Estate VX. Fri Nov 24 18:57:25 -0800 2006 1742856 10996 JK Grence the Cosmic Jester 1 1760785 Make a Goombay Smash...add Malibu Rum, Pineapple Juice, Orange Juice (and grenadine if you like). Some recipes add a dash apricot brandy, although I've never tried it that way. The stuff will get you smashed!! Sat Jul 22 17:28:19 -0700 2006 1733264 20731 wrathofcannes 1 1760851 Ooh, I like the Goombay Smash idea. I think I'll whip some up tonight! Sat Jul 22 18:17:08 -0700 2006 1733264 20876 nicki 1 1764618 Heat maple syrup w/ butter and a splash of rum--love it over french toast or pancakes.

Sat Nov 25 20:47:22 -0800 2006 1733264 48107 exbarkeep 1 2047447 Instant hot-buttered: Shot of rum, splat of butter, 5 spice, sugar, orange slice, and hot water Use a little hot water to melt the butter and sugar with the spice, add the rum and more hot water to taste. Sun Nov 26 07:08:23 -0800 2006 1733264 18159 maggie 2 2057842 Even better, use brown sugar. This reminds me, I've got to mix up some hot buttered rum batter. We just had our first big cold snap of the season around here in Phoenix. 40 degrees at night may not be all that cold for the rest of you, but to us it's bone-chilling!

It's one of my favorite winter drinks.

My mother used to start around September. Fri Dec 08 14:28:57 -0800 2006 1733264 11962 Athena 2 2107270 Rum cake and Little Rum Cookies are my favorites.

Serve with or without ice and drink year round. Vernors can only be found in certain places so if you can't find it in your area look online (vernors.com) to locate the nearest area to you. Enjoy!
