9. And a Bottle of Rum, Revised and Updated: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails
- SWAP IN SECONDS: No need to remove spring bars to swap different color combinations in and out. Buy multiple and swap in seconds for a new look daily!
- SELECT PROPER WIDTH: Available in 18mm, 20mm, 22mm and 24mm widths to fit thousands of watch models. To determine proper width for your watch, use a metric ruler to measure the lug width of your watch or the width of the current band at the point where it attaches. If your watch has an odd lug width (19mm, 21mm or 23mm), we recommend going with the strap 1mm larger than measured. The material is soft and should squeeze in nicely.
- OPTIMAL LENGTH: All widths (18mm, 20mm, 22mm & 24mm) measure approximately 10.5 inches (270mm) in length not including the buckle and fit wrists from 5" to 8" in circumference. However, watch size and geometry also impacts fit. If band is initially longer than desired, fold free end neatly back into the keeper loop or cut to desired length. If trimmed, expose cut end to match or lighter flame to avoid fraying.
- SEATBELT NYLON and SURGICAL GRADE STAINLESS STEEL: Seatbelt style nylon weave 1.4mm in thickness. Perfect to fit the vast majority of watches while remaining lightweight, breathable and very sturdy. Buckle fabricated from 316L surgical grade stainless steel. All materials are hypoallergenic.
- LASER CUT, PREMIUM STITCHING, WATER PROOF and WASHABLE: Laser cut to eliminate fraying; Custom stitched with clean lines to provide styel and strength. Stink resistant and machine washable.

I make a lot of cocktails for friends and so I've found the following ingredients to be useful for making a ton of cocktails:
Fair Warning - You will want to make ALL of the recipes in these books, and then you will want to buy more different types of alcohol (Jamaican, Demerera) and ultimately the recipes. It's a vicious, expensive cycle, but it's all worth it when you discover your new favorite drink. Eventually, it will hopefully lead you to something complex and wonderful like the Puka Punch recipe, one of my favorite cocktails. I think it features more than 10 ingredients, and it's amazing!
Depends on where you live. I'm in California, so we're spoiled; for instance this place (PDF warning) is two blocks from my house. But Del Maguey and Bozal have a decently deep number of offerings that are more or less available across the US (unfortunately I don't know about outside the US). Both can get fairly expensive fairly quickly, so it's tough trying to educate yourself via the liquor store. Additionally, there are an absurd number of small producers that never see distribution outside of bars and restaurants (if they even make it to the states). I definitely suggest hunting out a bar where you can try multiple examples in the same evening. But the Bozal Tobasiche is worth picking up if your local bottle shop has it. Likewise, their Espadín is good (and good deal cheaper). Also, say what you will about the company, but the Casamigos mezcal is quite decent, although not at the $75 price tag where I normally see it.
Before I started drinking them, I didn't realize how wild and varied mezcal and sotols can be, and it's pretty overwhelming. This is a great introduction if you taste a few and find yourself wanting more. It helps a lot with nomenclature, regions, etc.
Somewhat related- have you tried any Oaxacan rums? They're WILD. Certainly not for everyone (there's frequently a strong green olive brine thing going on?), but are super interesting.
I think that Angostura makes some of the best modern rum (or light rum) on the market, and this is an example of one.
I've seen it in a pic once where someone shared what was available in their local liquor store so you may be able to find it in the U.S. with a little looking.
Usually when I drink this, it's in something called a "brown cow" that's available in any bar or "rum shop" in Trinidad.
The bartender pours a bottle of Guinness Foreign Extra into a bottle, then adds a 375ml pack of Vanilla Supligen, then tops it up with either Forres Park Puncheon Rum or Fernandes Black Label Rum.
The end result is a bottle of a slightly fizzy, less sweet version of an Irish Cream.
Rum is a slightly more complicated topic than, say, whiskey or tequila. The legal standards for rum vary by country. Remember that most individual islands in/on the Caribbean are independent nations. There are more than 200 rums bottled in North America alone. The U.S. federal definition of rum is abysmal and not enforced as it is. OK. Where to start? Here are some links to further your pursuit.
This is a good general overview as only Wikipedia can give. Rum - Wikipedia
Here's a reasonable intro to rum guide put together by VINEPAIR Rum Guide - Learn About Rum
This is Drink International's Rum Supplement from last December. It discusses a lot of the topics surrounding rum today. Download it (free) and put it on your phone/tablet. Rum Supplement - Drink International
Here are some books that are generally well regarded by the rum community. I've linked to the eBook versions. The most expensive is $11.99
Rum The Manual
Rum Curious
And A Bottle of Rum
Smuggler's Cove: Exotic Cocktails, Rum, and the Cult of Tiki
Have fun chasing rums!
~Cheers
Check out Rum: A Social and Sociable History of the Real Spirit of 1776. The writing style is pretty conversational, so expect to jump around time periods a bit, but it's very fun and very detailed.
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1560258918
Exactly! To be fair duty free stuff doesn't count against your bag allowance (since you buy it after security). Also I recommend Wine Wings for anyone who likes to travel and wants to bring home bottles in their checked bags.
And a Bottle of Rum is absolutely the book you're wanting.
Smuggler's Cove has several decent sections on rum, including some history and a lot of subdivisions and classifications.
Potions of the Caribbean is another great book more focused on the influence of cocktails in the Caribbean, but has some good insights on rum as well.
2017 seems to have been the year of rum books.
Smuggler's Cove (2016) is, of course, excellent.
For mixing cocktails, Jeff "Beachbum" Berry's books are indispensable.
I've heard good things about Rum Curious by Fred Minnick, foreword by Martin Cate (so it's legit): https://www.amazon.com/Rum-Curious-Indispensable-Tasting-Worlds/dp/0760351732
I highly recommend Fred Minnick's book Rum Curious, https://www.amazon.com/Rum-Curious-Indispensable-Tasting-Worlds/dp/0760351732. It scores rums and talks about what sugars, about the industry, and very much the realities of the industry at that. It's a great read, seriously.
You could always get special luggage for checking bottles:

Or I've heard good things about things like these:
http://www.amazon.com/Wine-Skin-WineSkin-Bag-2-Pack/dp/B0033C6FOM
Ting - 20 Oz Plastic Bottle (6 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001CVDYO
If I recall correctly, Ting is more acidic, Squirt is sweeter. That being said, I'm sure I'd enjoy a Paloma made with Ting as well as a Wray & Squirt.
https://www.amazon.com/Glenmorangie-Crystal-Snifter-Glass/dp/B0097ZA4V4
By far my favorites. Heavy base, nice feel, concentrates aromas just enough.
Thanks! Quick question, what's the difference between this book and this one? Was the book published twice? Both are the same number of pages...
'Grog' originated after the nickname of British Vice Admiral Edward Vernon who was known to wear grogram cloth.
For more on the history of rum, I recommend the And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails
Will check it out. If you want to get further into the Tiki side of things, I recommend Smuggler's Cove: Exotic Cocktails, Rum, and the Cult of Tiki https://www.amazon.com/dp/1607747324/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xrV7ybVRKN7FJ

Buy a copy of the Smuggler's Cove book and go from there.
I'd suggest checking out the "Rum Links" section in the sidebar, particularly the beginner's guide to rum. Additionally, And a Bottle of Rum is an informative book.
