Dark Rum drinks

[ChunkyloverSV]

Hello all never ventured in here before apart from the threadCotty's portion sizes!

Just wondering if there are any fellow dark rum drinkers in here. My favourite seems to Mount Gay or Morgan spiced. I'm getting a bit bored of having it just with coke and I am wondering if anyone has any ideas or cocktail style drinks I can make. As long as I can get the ingredients from Tesco etc.

Cheers

Try The Kraken in Sainsbury's.

All you need is some ice cubes.

Dark and stormy for me too!
Dark rum and Ginger beer Wow !

[GingerNinja]

And if you really want to go for it, you can make a Dark & Very Stormy: substitute the regular ginger beer, for an alcoholic variety like Franks.

^^^ now we're talking :]

Can't beat ginger beer.

Cloudy lemonade is excellent too.

Sailor Jerry for me, or Woods If I'm feeling retro

It has to be a Goslings for a dark and stormy - delicious

Mount Gay is just the distillery, it's not the particular rum.

90% of the time, "Mount Gay" over here will be Eclipse which is, basically, rough as a badgers arse.

In Bim, it's 25p a shot, with a squirt of Sprite it gets you going.

Mount Gay XO is teh daddy.

Bloody lovely drink.

Agreed, but with either Woods or Pussers.

I'm usually quite happy with a Cuba Libre. Captain Morgan's is a very good rum for a mass produced item. Kraken is also very nice.

We do this with whisky! Bloody lovely!

+ 1 for cuba libre! Simple but effective

You can't go wrong with a small tumbler of Cuba libre and lots of ice.

[ChunkyloverSV]

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm slowly making my way through the different brands. So I will aquire a bottle of Cuba

I will also try with ginger beer and see how I get on. I have tried krakken not really a session drink I found.

[Wadeski]

Kraken is very, very sweet to me. Too much.

El dorado's range is FAB.

Cuba libre isn't a rum (afaik) it's rum, coke, lots of lime.
