Product Review - What's New on My Bar?
Do you like this story?
It pays to have friends with equaled passion for Caribbean travel! A dear pal recently dropped off a bottle of Jamaica's latest libation craze, not yet available in the US. Can you spot it?
In case you missed it, here it is debuting solo: Blackwell Fine Jamaican Rum
The name Blackwell doesn't ring a bell? Try a quick Google search for "Chris Blackwell" and enjoy reading about one of the Caribbean's most fascinating sons. To summarize, think Bob Marley & Island Outpost Hotels. Even the label is quite lovely with a pressed wax seal and antiqued Jamaican map print:Well... it was so darn tasty on the rocks, but a wee bit strong for this gal. So I broke my own rule of Mojitos are ONLY concocted with white rum (Bacardi Limon to be exact) and gathered the limes, the mint, and the sugar cane syrup. Delish! (Recipe below)
And you must love a rum with its own Facebook Page:
- 1 oz Blackwell Rum
- 1-2 oz Club Soda
- 2 Fresh Limes
- 4-5 Mint Leaves
- 1 oz Sugar Cane or Simple Syrup (1/2 Tablespoon plain sugar will suffice.)
Quarter limes and muddle with mint leaves and sugar syrup in your cocktail shaker. Add rum and ice cubes and shake it baby! Pour into glass and add a splash of club soda and more ice. Stir and enjoy!
