As the returning reader will know well by now, I declare the opening of "rum season" in my town each year. The date of the season opener is completely in my discretion. I also declare the closing of the season when the time is right and the mood is proper. Right now, the season is in full swing.
Today is Rum Day in the U.S. To all dedicated Epics, I highly recommend the rum shown above for sipping purposes. I also highly recommend the
Bacardi web site for its excellent collection of rum cocktail recipes including what I consider the greatest rum cocktail ever.
The Daiquiri. Made the old way. The foundation of
the drink Hem drank by the dozen. I prefer the original. Cheers!
