Tequila v. Rum

roni · 12-22-2007

I used to drink rum more. Then I drank tequila more.

Friends are here who love the St. John, USVI. So, I found some Cruzan Estate Diamond rum. It is a blend of rums ranging in age from 5 to 10 years and went for $18. Smooth, good sipping or on the rocks. The Cruzan Estate Dark ($10) is a blend of rums aged in oak for a minimum of 2 years. Far tastier than Bacardi in a rum and coke.

I think I may be going back into a rum phase.

Well, me too - but good rum is less expensive than good tequila around here.

Rum. I know this is the land of tequilla but I didn't move to Mexico, I moved to the Caribbean: Mexico just happened to be here when I arrived.

I think you should consult your physician.......... seems pretty crazy to me........meds might be required

But you didn't warn them.

RUM!!!!!!!

My sis-in-law used to live in St. Croix and she would bring some of that yummy Cruzan rum home with her. LOVE IT! But tequila........is tequila!

Two different things to me, I'm usually in the mood for one, or the other - but never both (at the same time anyway).

I drink more Rum. Mostly Captain Morgans, but I like the dark rums. We bought back 2 bottles of Bacardi 8 from Mexico last year. Very strong. I'ts the only drink I use a shot glass to make sure it's not to strong. I saw Tommy Bahamma is making rum now too.

Had been drinking Cruzan Single Barrel rum until a buddy of mine came home with some Havana Club. I'm lovin' rum right now.

roni · 12-22-2007

I am sipping on some Cruzan 5 year old on the rocks.

sctx, write again after you have tried it.

It's like apples to oranges.

Or Agave to sugar cane

Which actually, now that I think about it, I have an agave sweetener for my tea in the kitchen.

Rum in my egg nog and mojitos

Tequila all other times.
