Zum Einstieg heute einen kleinen “Agricole Scorpion” (Oriol Elias: Minimalist Tiki).

A little Rum Cannonball to finish the Night

Unfortunately I don’t have the Kuhiko mug to serve it in, but this was similar enough.

Question to everyone: Are there any rums you would recommend that are versatile enough for multiple cocktails? Looking for recommendations for light/agricoles, Jamaican, dark (if it’s any different) overproof. Thanks

RareAkuma · February 3, 2024, 4:29pm

Great question! I’ll send you a PM.

And since we’re talking cocktails:

Why would you do that? Isn’t it fun to discuss here? I gladly share my opinion once I am at a proper keyboard

Didn’t want to flood the channel, because I had a lengthier response than expected. But you are correct. Here are my suggestions for a cost-friendly bar:

Mai Tai und meine Laune steigt… zum Wohl.

SaibotZtar · February 3, 2024, 6:02pm

Überraschend lecker… richtig Fruchtig und Harmonisch. Toll

Henry · February 3, 2024, 6:06pm

My cost-friendly bar contains fewer bottles:
One Rum for Daiquiris, Mojitos etc. (e.g. Planteray 3 Stars, Havana 3, Veritas, Chairmans White etc.)
One light, aged Rum (usually from Barbados)
One Rum for Mai Tais (e.g. Smith & Cross)
One Rum for Ti Punches (e.g. Baie des Tresors Plein Soleil)

Sometimes I have something on top of that like the OFTD, one of the unaged Jamaican overproofs, or the Burkes Seamaster White that arrived today.

Which exact bottle I am using depends on what I was craving when I bought it, I enjoy trying different rums instead of buying the same bottle twice in a row. But generally, I found that I don’t have to spend a lot of money to make a great Cocktail. And you can always add a bit of a funky Jamaican for example to adjust the cocktail to what you’d like to drink on that day instead of buying an extra bottle for that taste profile.

Seems like two Rums from a different century. Excellent price point. The HD overproof is one of my preferred Mixers.

I’ve made just about every tiki cocktail known to man at this point and I just have to +1 that the HD overproof is one of the best and most versatile cocktail bottles out there. Exceptional mixer.

Ich kann dir den Carribean Zombie aus Minimalist Tiki wärmstens empfehlen!
