When you're done with your Capt. Morgan, keep the nice cork for your Bumbu. Fits perfectly.

I have a pretty good mai tai recipe actually. I'll share it - it has both light and dark rum. Note this is for 1 serving size:

1.5 oz light rum
.75 oz Cointreau
.75 oz orgeat syrup (this is a key ingredient and use a high quality product, like this one here)
3 oz orange juice
3 oz pineapple juice

Mix & shake all ingredients over ice in cocktail shaker, then strain into a tall glass full of crushed ice. Guaranteed the drink will taste better if it's in a tiki glass
Garnish with a maraschino cherry, and add some of the maraschino syrup.
Finally, float a bit of dark 151 rum AND regular dark rum on top but do not stir. I use Gosling's rums. Stick a straw in it and serve.

I do

1oz dark rum
1oz light rum
.5 oz orgeat
.5 oz agave syrup
.5 oz lime juice
.25 oz dry Cointreau

Then I triple that recipe to make two glasses. Shake all together and pour over ice. Throw in a luxardo cherry or three.

Yep - yours is the more traditional (original) recipe and if you use good rums, will showcase their flavor.

Mine is sweeter with the 2 juices, but we usually serve with Chinese food so it provides a good balance.

Plantation 20th is still my favorite, but the Triple Aged Dos Maderas is making a move.

I need to try the FOURSQUARE with some ice, its surprisingly smooth for being 120 proof, but the 'fire' needs to be tamed a little bit.

Decided to take two recommendations from this thread to add to my 21 year Flor de Cańa. I’m really starting to dig rum!

The Kanichę I grabbed after tasting it in store. Had to have more!

You have done well... Yes. I have been recommending Plantation XO for a couple of years now on this forum. It is my favorite spirit and I have sampled countless. I keep several amazing varieties in my bar at all times.

Mine is out as well. I will say, I prefer the Plantation neat and Bumbu with some rocks. Both excellent.

Went to replenish my stocks this morning after some of the boys dropping by this week for some sampling. Got the Kraken on special.

I had a few leftovers from different brands that I "blended" in one single bottle. Is that wrong?

When my eyes are getting tired towards the end of the day, this looks like the Bum thread.
