What is better than a coke?

Coconut water, ginger beer and clementine juice are classics for mixing. What was wrong with your old account? Because you can edit or remove your reviews.

Ginger beer? That is look fun. How about Root Beer? Friends always mix it and I'm just curious with it. The old acc went into another email, and somehow I cant open it. Thank you sir.

Coconut ice cubes were also a suggestion from an older thread. I never heard of root beer with rum, but try it out. If you like it you can't do wrong.

I always go with Pepsi with real sugar. To save calories, I go with premium coconut water

@vomi10110, coconut ice cube looks more interesthing. @paul b, back in collage pepsi was my fav but sadly we dont have anymore pepsi here. So I 'll take the coconur ice cube or pepsi. Thank you guys, really appreciate your comment

Ginger beer for me. My favorite rum drink is Dark ‘N’ Stormy which requires Ginger beer. I use the alcoholic version. But it’s all about what drink you like, so if you like a Cuba Libre use Coke.

@stefan thank you sir. Just made coconut ice cube to my Saint James, sweeeett!! Will try the ginger beer with Myer's. She the dark rum I have now. Thank you again, appreciate your comment.

Myers and pineapple Juice is an old classic that pairs perfectly. I have been using the coconut water ice cubes and love it with middle tier rums in the summer. Most of my rum drinking is straight.

Jimmy: Another dark rum that goes very well with pineapple juice is Blackwell's Reserve. The legendary Chris Blackwell (of Island Records) got Joy Spence of Appleton to create four possible dark rums for marketing. He had a sampling from a few other staff members. They all chose the one that is now available, except for him, who was the lone dissident in taste. It is one of the best rums one can buy, especially when price is considered. In a side by side test at a bar a few years ago, it easily beat out my sample of Appleton 21 at one sixth of the price on a full bottle. No easy feat! Buy a bottle if you can find it! By the way, fantastic work on your Rebirth album!!!! Keep more of them coming!!!!

Thank you guys, awesome! Cheers ;)

@PaulB - I just noticed you said you like the Blackwell Reserve even better than the Appleton21? I'll second that! Blackwell is releasing their 007 rum this month for $10 more than their reserve. Should be interesting... https://www.blackwellrum.com/007

Sweeeett!! Thank you sir!!

Falcon: Thanks for the tip on the upcoming 007 release. Here is an interesting inside story on the Blackwell's Reserve. Chris asked Joy Spence to make up several samples so that his panel of about four could choose which one to market. He chose one. The panel all chose the same one, but not the same one that Chris preferred. He wisely listened to the results of his panel to produce Blackwell's Reserve. His taste in rum obviously runs counter to that of the general public. I wish that I had been on that panel.

Just saw the replies about Blackwells will look for it.

Getting back to the mixer topic, I used grapefruit and pineapple juice yesterday for Appleton 12yo but it was too sweet so i added juice from half lime and it worked great. I also prepared another cool thing: fallernum. Take rum (the stronger the better), and pour it to a jar with your favorite spices. I used almonds, cloves, lime zests and ginger. Leave it to macerate for 24hours and pour through a cloth to obtain clear liquid. It is extremely aromatic and can be drank neat or with ice cubes but if you add small part of fallernum to the previous mixture you're in carribean heaven.

@kudzey sir. Thank you sir, lucky I am not too lfar from a fruit store and I saw they have a pineapple. Thank you again, much appreciate

@ kudzey your fallernum sounds great, like a spiced rum with your favourite ingredients. I use some spiced rum in the wintertime to mix it with hot apple juice usually Kraken and for x-mas Bristol Black. @ Rum Funk no cold season in Singapore to drink hot drinks, I think. Great, you live close to a fruit store. If you can get white Rhum Agricole you can put some sliced fruits (any you like) into an empty bottle and fill it up with the Agricole. That is called "Rum Arrangée" in La Reunion and Mauritius. Leaf the fruits inside for the whole time it's very nice on ice for hot days. I love the Arrangée here in the summer.
