coffeesp00ns was kind enough to shift his opportunity to host off on me. I will be away in Florida with my family the week of the 21st, and don't want to commit to anything where I'd actually really need to follow through as I don't know what my internet or availability will be like down there.
I have chosen my drink of choice: rum. Delicious, lovely, dark and sweet, I personally prefer the Sailor Jerry's brand. Sailor is both cheaper than Captain Morgan, and more alcoholic.
There are actually two kinds of rum, white rum and dark rum. Your white rums are your Bacardis, really bad rail rum, and Malibu. I do not recommend anyone select Malibu for their rum unless you're mixing it and/or have other liquors available as well. While Malibu is very sweet and thusly easy to drink, it's like - fake rum. And once I had to drink a red cup full of it during a drinking game and that kind of put me off the whole experience. However, white rums may cause less severe hangovers! I think I read that somewhere.
Dark rums are delicious. The aforementioned Sailor's is my go-to as an inexpensive rum that will get you pleasantly drunk. Captain Morgan's has more of a vanilla flavor. Kraken is more heavily spiced, but very good. I would recommend Kraken mixed with a pale soda (like Sprite or maybe ginger ale) OR one of my favorite newly-discovered drinks, a Dark & Stormy. This is made by combining an alcoholic ginger beer (I prefer Crabby's) with a generous shot or so of rum - Kraken being my preference here.
In my experience dark rum drinks are usually served with a lime garnish. I recommend that.
I promise to imbibe enough that I may occasionally misspell something.
On a side note, please never, ever drink Burnett's Sweet Tea Vodka, guys. It's awful.
