Delighted to see that there are other cocktail enthusiasts in the same boat!<br /><br />Cocktails at 80 - Yes, I'd love to branch out!! I think we actually picked the Bacardi up during an evening run to safeway to satisfy a hankering for a mojito on a hot day. Thank you for recommending the myers platinum--recommendations are gold. We will definitely check that out the next time we buy white rum. :-)Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16426154607141582176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8152189923024791263.post-22668142948675407472009-06-18T19:01:40.325-07:002009-06-18T19:01:40.325-07:00May I suggest then when you are ready to buy your ...May I suggest then when you are ready to buy your next bottle of rum, that you check out some other types?

Although the angostura bitters changes the character completely, it looks like a mojito with the bitters added, which is how you might have to explain to ignorant bartender. Thanks for the comment about substitution of more common less expensive ingredients, e.g. Bacardi white rum, for more esoteric ones. Although the cocktail snobs will disagree, one of the biggest challenges for aspiring non-millionaire mixologists with limited living space is keeping within a budget and not filling up kitchen/bar with exotic ingredients that may only be used once.sf_cocktailiannoreply@blogger.com
