Re: and the RUM is for all your good vices....
I decided to try out this recipe for Key Lime Rum Cake tonight: http://www.keylimejuice.com/recipes/key ... m-cake.htm
I sent my husband to the store to get ingredients and he some how "accidentally"
came home with a bottle of 151 proof Gosling's Black Seal. I'm thinking this cake is going to kick ass!
Will report results back later...if I'm still sober enough to type after eating it.

Re: and the RUM is for all your good vices....
We tried the super-ultra rare family estate stuff in Key West several years ago. We were there in July, and it was just us, the bartender and the manager for most of the day. We made friends, and they both wanted to try it, so we all did. We ALL thought it was awful.Bfan53again wrote:I do enjoy Gosling's Black Seal rum.

El Dorado 12 year. There's just something about a demerara rum to me that screams MORE!
Neat, slightly cooled or with a splash of ginger beer and lemon.

Re: and the RUM is for all your good vices....
As a new memeber, I feel the need to contribute:
Softball Parent cocktail-- 20 ounce bottle of water, one packet of grape G2 Gatorade, one shot of Sailor Jerry's, one shot of Cruzan Coconut. Hydration with a buzz, no hangover, great camoulflage for your drink.
Tom's Beach Rumrunner-- 16 ounces Hawaiian Punch Lite (minimal sugar), one shot of Sailor Jerry's, One shot of Cruzan Coconut, 1/2 shot of Captain Morgan's black spiced rum. Vigorously mix your rum with crushed ice first, then add the HP Lite. Enjoy!!!
