The Tropical Torpedo
If you haven’t noticed, I am on a bit of a rum kick lately. Historically vodka has been by spirit of choice, but for some reason or another I have noticed the level of my Bacardi bottle has been descending a lot faster than that of my Skyy vodka. I think what started it all was my discovery of the pure, tart flavor of the classic lime daiquiri. (This link takes you to my post on the Hemingway daiquiri, which is equally as good as a classic daiquiri with just a couple of extra ingredients.) Daiquiris have been around forever, but my previous experience with them usually involved sickeningly-sweet flavored versions or frozen renditions with more slushy ice than booze. The classic daiquiri, with its limited ingredients, really brings out the taste of the rum and makes for a straightforward, uncomplicated cocktail.

Cheers to Paradise!
I will soon be in Key West and I know I will find a boatload of great new rum drink ideas that I will most definitely be sharing with you. Hmm, maybe I can write this trip off my taxes since I’m using it for research purposes…
