Sorry friends. I know it’s been a slow few days, but life-life has required too much of my attention to properly keep things in order here. There will be a return to normal next week.
Monday Catch-up: Tanduay Rhum, the Future of Tiki, the World’s Most Expensive Cocktail…
How is it Monday already? I had three days off and almost nothing to drink and time still seemed to fly right by…
Moving on.
4,532 Litres of rum are for sale. The port of Cartagena is auctioning off 22 barrels and 132 bottles of Quorhum rum on July 21st at a starting bid of 21,000 euros. Via The Leader
Tanduay Rhum is the second most popular rum in the world. Here in the U.S., though, you can hardly get it. But their growth is strong and there are rumors of it hitting our shores. Via Rum Connection
Yet another article about the Daiquiri. It’s short, but sweet. Via National Post
The World’s Most Expensive Cocktail is a Mai Tai. For $1300 you can get a Mai Tai using the near-impossible to find,original 17-year-old J Wray & Nephew Jamaican Rum… or you could if they were willing to sell you the last shot. Which they aren’t. Via Herald Sun
There’s a seminar being held for the Tiki lovers. Learn about the death of Tiki and it’s resurgence and enjoy some Tiki drinks while you’re at it. Via A Mountain Of Crushed Ice
Get your mixing started for another cocktail contest. About.com’s cocktail contest for July is all about the Light Rum, hopefully it will produce some interesting results. Via About.com
The image in this post has nothing to do with anything. It’s just a cool old saloon photo.
