It's loving cold outside, so I decided to try some hot buttered rum. Ended up making this with El Dorado 5-year, since I didn't want to risk any Smith and Cross on a failed experiment. It came out pretty tasty, but the batter might've drowned out the rum's flavor a bit. I'll have to play with the proportions next time. Does it seem like a reasonable recipe? Any other hot rum drinks I should know about?

pgroce posted:Did the batter really prevent the butter from pooling at the top? It seems like the butter would just melt out like it always does, but if not, it would be awesome. A thin layer of spices and butter does form at the top, but it definitely doesn't look as thick or oil slick-y as any of the pictures I see on a Google image search. (Not much HBR experience, as you can see)

There was a lot of talk about Oronoco earlier in the thread. Apparently, it's been discontinued?

Smith & Cross is indeed pretty rough for sipping. You should try it in an old fashioned.

For some reason, the local liquor store had Appleton Estate Reserve for $10 a bottle. What's a good cocktail for this stuff?

Cheap rear end entertainment Jeez, you know you could just have a rum and coke with the handy 8oz cans they sell now, and end up consuming less sugar? And once you're there, Captain Morgan is pretty pleasant in a Cuba Libre, if you don't mind paying crazy prices for limes right now. (Of course, you could also get a nice sipper like Plantation Barbados in roughly the same price range, but you could also stick to sugary cocktails and improve on that.)

Man, Lemon Hart 151 is something else. Really amazing in a daiquiri.

Solumin posted:I think I'd like something a little smoother. Does the thread have any recommendations for a beginner with a limited budget? Recommendations for mixers, etc. are also welcome! Plantation 5 Year and Plantation Original Dark are in the $15-$20 range, and both are pretty tasty sippers. Coruba is also in that range, but I haven't tried it outside of a cocktail. It's great with some ginger beer, though. Cruzan Black Strap is great and available for as low as $12-$13, but it's more of a cocktail rum than a sipping rum, I think? It's thick and almost syrupy, and would be pretty intense neat or over ice. Devil Wears Wings posted:Thankfully rum hasn't gone through a price boom like whiskey, so you can find a ton of REALLY good ones for under $30. This is absolutely correct. For $30, you can get you a bottle of just about anything mentioned in the OP. I'd definitely recommend splurging on a bottle of Smith and Cross, which is the most unique rum I've tasted.

Cruzan Black Strap is great in a Dark and Stormy.

Rum old fashioneds can be pretty delicious, especially when you use Smith and Cross.

Liquor store had Pyrat marked down to $15 for whatever reason, so I grabbed a bottle. It was pretty tasty on the rocks. What are some other delicious things I can do with it?

I use Cruzan Blackstrap instead of vodka in White Russians.
