So I'm just sat having a cheeky Rum & Coke. It's a dark spiced rum called Kraken. I must admit being a ex Royal Navy guy i do like a nice drop of rum, some of my favourites are Kraken a dark spiced rum, Captain Morgans a more golden spiced rum, Woods & Pussers rum both dark, but happy to drink the likes of Bacardi! I was just wondering how many people on here like a good rum, how and what do you drink it with. |

"love Bacardi...I know it's a white rum and a tarts drink "
not at all, I remember drinking Bacardi 151 in Barbados where the Coke was dearer the the Bacardi, they do more than just the plain old white white rum Bacardi.

I love Malibu ... and also know it's a white rum and a tarts drink ... not that I'm a tart of course.
I do love the artwork on the Kraken bottle though ..... |

"I had some Kraken recently and it's jolly nice. I don't really do rum (against all the laws of my heritage, but there you go). When I do, I prefer it with coconut water.
"
isn't that just Malibu  |

NO! Not gloopy coconut cream but the more subtle, less coconutty water.
Frozen coconut jelly is also good instead of ice.

Splice the mainbrace shippers! Woods,pusser's, pusser's gunpowder proof, lambs, cockspur, Havana club 7, and my favourite Angostura 1919. All on the sideboard with the whiskey! 
Of course only a sailor knows why lambs is 'that' shape..... |

I like Morgan's Spiced is a nice cheaper rum but Havana Club 7 year old, Bacardi 8 year old are very nice,
As for Gin - Botanist and Sipsmith are my faves.
Waitrose do a lovely lemon gin too |

I like the normal Appletons with Crabbs alcoholic ginger beer.
I'm also quite partial to a good quality aged rum, which has to be d*unk on its own with ice |

"Might be still available on Amazon, if. It there's always Lambs "
I found Woods 100 much smoother than either Lambs or Captain Morgans plus, of course, it was 100% whereas Lambs and Captain Morgan was "only" 70%! Think that`s why you can`t get it any more as I think anything over 70% is not allowed for sale in UK? |

Just Googled it and yes, Woods 100 is still available but only 57% so not the fire water I used to drink! |

I love a good rum. I come from the French Caribbean, few choices over there.
I particularly like infusing my white rums with various fruits.
My raspberry or passion fruit infused rum have been appreciated a few times at socials in Scotland
It's cold up here |
