Tonight I'm enjoying some Plantation Original Dark rum. It's a 'double aged' blend of mostly Barbados rum blended with a small amount of long-aged Jamaican rum, and it is fantastically delicious in a very rangy way. It's got some interesting funkiness to it that I've never encountered in any other dark spirit. It's smooth and great on ice, and I would put it up alongside many whiskies in the $30-$40 range, quality-wise, but it can generally be found for a mere $20. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it; I suspect you'll thank me later if you do.

Rum, you say? Mai Tai all the way!

Although my wife has recently been hitting the White Russians. Tis the season, I guess.

Me? Beer, of course.

I prefer to go full Scorpion Bowl with two straws.

After I have written it, I realize that this sentence may make no sense without my frame reference. I love a place that has a scorpion bowl. A place like that, with the tiki torches, that kind of place has the best Chinese food. Order the pu-pu platter. The kind of place that has scorpion bowl mai tais has the best pu-pu platter in town.

When "Neptune's Punch" is served in a novelty ceramic tiki-shaped cup, you know you are in good company with Trader Vic.

*I didn't do the sauce pan stuff. Put a shot of hootch in a mug, poured in hot water, a dollop of the butter mix, boom like so
