To taste. Start with maybe two or three shakes of the bitters and a teaspoon of simple syrup, I guess.

Yes on he finish, and $45 bucks for a good liquor is worth it. If you are on a tight budget like me, just make that price range a special occasion treat.

Barbancourt 5 star is possibly my favorite go-to spirit. The price:quality is perfect.

Picked up a bottle of Mount Gay Black Barrel for my obligatory bottle of hotel room hooch. It's promising in a quick and dirty mix with grocery store ginger beer and lime. Sipped straight, seems alright. Going to have to give the rest of the bottle proper attention when I get back home.

When I get around to having the Liquor Commission order me a new bottle of something they don't carry in the local outlets, would Leblon be worth requesting? Seems to be the only cachaça carried in the state. Not dropping the  to commit to a case of anything else with a state-wide stocking request.

Leblon is gonna have to wait. Just blew my non-Smith & Cross fun budget on a bottle of Bully Boy Boston rum to give my father and Barbancourt 15 year for myself. Also bottle each Dolin dry and rouge.

Still no call for the likker outlet. I want my Smith & Cross, damnit. Gonna have to head over tomorrow and see if the what's up. Guessing the clerk never passed on the note. E: The order never came in. Had to go through three clerks to get a new order put through. Butch Cassidy fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Jun 17, 2016 |

Liquor commission has decided to stock Cruzan blackstrap. Need to decide what my celebratory first drink will be.

Mount Gay Black Barrel is aged in bourbon barrels and a solid rum. It's priced fairly, mixes well enough, can be alright neat, and makes a good old fashioned.

Could also use capillaire or citrus zest infused syrup in place of the sugar. Anyone got a good hot buttered rum recipe? I've yet to be truly content with one. Serious Eats has a promising batter I'd like to tinker with but is too sweet and overly spiced like it is trying to cover rough rum. The nutmeg also gets buried where I prefer it to be front and center.

Picked up a bottle of Plantation Original Dark for my obligatory room bottle while on vacation. I don't think it's all that good neat but just noticed how quickly some of that bottle went sloshed in a cup while reading old sci-fi shorts on the deck. Going to save the rest and give it a proper go when I'm home and less distracted by the beach. At any rate, it mixes prwtty well.

Can now say that Plantation Original Dark makes an alright old fashioned with a reduced charge of demerara. Decidedly simple and lacking spunk yet tempts me top try a hot buttered rum with the stuff. I think my verdict will be that it's a reasonably decent liquor mixed and serviceable neat but Barbancourt 5 Star and Pusser's are both much better for the same price.
