I make a lot of cocktails for friends and so I've found the following ingredients to be useful for making a ton of cocktails:

  • Costco bag of limes - a gigantic bag of fresh limes for less than 6 bucks and it should keep in the fridge for a few weeks. Most rum drinks use limes vs lemons, though there are a few. With this, you can make daiquiris, use the limes for garnishes, etc.

  • Pineapple Juice (Multi-pack) - The cans of pineapple juice are so convenient for making quick cocktails. A lot of tiki drinks feature pineapple juice (Painkiller, Missionary's Downfall).

  • POM juice - You use the pomegranate juice for making homemade grenadine, possibly one of the easiest and best tasting syrups. I've used this recipe for years and I extend its life by adding a T of brandy. I love the Shrunken Skull drink made with this: 1 oz Gold Rum, 1 oz Demerera, 1 oz lime, 1 oz grenadine, and ice - potent and so good!

  • Angostura Bitters - a feature of most tiki drinks. There's even a cocktail (that I haven't tried) that uses this as it's main spirit!

  • Books that are packed full of wonderful recipes:
  1. Smuggler's Cove
  2. Beach Bum Berry's Remixed
  3. Trader Vic's Tiki Party

    Fair Warning - You will want to make ALL of the recipes in these books, and then you will want to buy more different types of alcohol (Jamaican, Demerera) and ultimately the recipes. It's a vicious, expensive cycle, but it's all worth it when you discover your new favorite drink. Eventually, it will hopefully lead you to something complex and wonderful like the Puka Punch recipe, one of my favorite cocktails. I think it features more than 10 ingredients, and it's amazing!

I think that Angostura makes some of the best modern rum (or light rum) on the market, and this is an example of one.

I've seen it in a pic once where someone shared what was available in their local liquor store so you may be able to find it in the U.S. with a little looking.

Usually when I drink this, it's in something called a "brown cow" that's available in any bar or "rum shop" in Trinidad.

The bartender pours a bottle of Guinness Foreign Extra into a bottle, then adds a 375ml pack of Vanilla Supligen, then tops it up with either Forres Park Puncheon Rum or Fernandes Black Label Rum.

The end result is a bottle of a slightly fizzy, less sweet version of an Irish Cream.

Rum is a slightly more complicated topic than, say, whiskey or tequila. The legal standards for rum vary by country. Remember that most individual islands in/on the Caribbean are independent nations. There are more than 200 rums bottled in North America alone. The U.S. federal definition of rum is abysmal and not enforced as it is. OK. Where to start? Here are some links to further your pursuit.

This is a good general overview as only Wikipedia can give. Rum - Wikipedia

Here's a reasonable intro to rum guide put together by VINEPAIR Rum Guide - Learn About Rum

This is Drink International's Rum Supplement from last December. It discusses a lot of the topics surrounding rum today. Download it (free) and put it on your phone/tablet. Rum Supplement - Drink International

Here are some books that are generally well regarded by the rum community. I've linked to the eBook versions. The most expensive is $11.99

Rum The Manual
Rum Curious
And A Bottle of Rum
Smuggler's Cove: Exotic Cocktails, Rum, and the Cult of Tiki

Have fun chasing rums!

Check out Rum: A Social and Sociable History of the Real Spirit of 1776. The writing style is pretty conversational, so expect to jump around time periods a bit, but it's very fun and very detailed.

Note: I mostly drink white rums, with the exception of Smith and Cross and Wood's, as I like the funk. These suggestions may not align with aged or more refined rums.

Wray and Ting is amazing (you can get Ting on Amazon if it's hard to find locally).

There are frequent tasting notes of banana, but not a lot of cocktails with bananas in them. Eat bananas while you drink rum. And grapefruits, because Ting.

I like my Cuba Libres deconstructed, where I have Coke as a side sipper similar to sangrita when I drink tequila.

Charred pineapple. Or, better, Tepache. Again, on the side, not as a mixer. Maybe cocoa nibs with the pineapple.

And a Bottle of Rum is absolutely the book you're wanting.

Smuggler's Cove has several decent sections on rum, including some history and a lot of subdivisions and classifications.

Potions of the Caribbean is another great book more focused on the influence of cocktails in the Caribbean, but has some good insights on rum as well.

2017 seems to have been the year of rum books.

Smuggler's Cove (2016) is, of course, excellent.

For mixing cocktails, Jeff "Beachbum" Berry's books are indispensable.

I've heard good things about Rum Curious by Fred Minnick, foreword by Martin Cate (so it's legit): https://www.amazon.com/Rum-Curious-Indispensable-Tasting-Worlds/dp/0760351732

u/ConfuciusMonkey · 1 pointr/rum

I highly recommend Fred Minnick's book Rum Curious, https://www.amazon.com/Rum-Curious-Indispensable-Tasting-Worlds/dp/0760351732. It scores rums and talks about what sugars, about the industry, and very much the realities of the industry at that. It's a great read, seriously.

You could always get special luggage for checking bottles:

Or I've heard good things about things like these:

Ting - 20 Oz Plastic Bottle (6 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001CVDYO

If I recall correctly, Ting is more acidic, Squirt is sweeter. That being said, I'm sure I'd enjoy a Paloma made with Ting as well as a Wray & Squirt.

Thanks! Quick question, what's the difference between this book and this one? Was the book published twice? Both are the same number of pages...

'Grog' originated after the nickname of British Vice Admiral Edward Vernon who was known to wear grogram cloth.

For more on the history of rum, I recommend the And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails

u/LookAnOwl · 5 pointsr/rum

Will check it out. If you want to get further into the Tiki side of things, I recommend Smuggler's Cove: Exotic Cocktails, Rum, and the Cult of Tiki https://www.amazon.com/dp/1607747324/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xrV7ybVRKN7FJ

A very useful guide, but somewhat hard to find, being out-of-print (to my knowledge). You may want to check to see if your local libraries have a copy.

u/stormstatic · 2 pointsr/rum

I'd suggest checking out the "Rum Links" section in the sidebar, particularly the beginner's guide to rum. Additionally, And a Bottle of Rum is an informative book.

My wife has one she keeps Scotch in -- she got it from the mysterious and exotic amazon.com.

u/adamb0m · 5 pointsr/rum

Amazon Prime Pantry sells it. Buy 8 or more bottles to avoid the fee. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J54X4VW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PDpUDb98YA0JM
