The Drunkards Tavern

Havana club anejo bianco is crap. Normal run is better sadly. Even with coke.

What do I try. Net?

The 7 year old Havana Club is far, far better, the 15 year old one is good too, but not enough to justify paying £120 a bottle. If you're going to be a woman and drink white rum, may as well stick with Bacardi...

A hotel I used to work in had the world's most expensive bottle of rum, which was used to make the world's most expensive cocktail. I had a little drip from a straw once, tasted great, not sure it was worth the £750 a measure would have cost me though.

It's alive!!!
My chocolate vodka was a success. I did not even use the honey. I just drank it, neat. Very chocolaty. Not as bitter as one might expect. Infact the bitterness of the cocoa and the bitterness of the vodka seem to have neutralised each other. The cinnamon gives a lovely fragrance and the red chilly powder gave a bite.

I tried something similar many years ago, though my method of pouring a half bottle of Smirnoff into a McDonalds Chocolate milkshake was probably rather flawed. No, I didn't drink it all. I was only 15 or so though.

I'm not into spending that much money on a single bottle unless its actually worth it. And I think I'll stick to the normal kinds of rum from now on. Though, is gin worth trying?

The Havana Club 7 year old I mentioned is around £20 a bottle, and well worth it. As for gin, no, just no...

I'll have to take a look for it then.

Why not gin? What else would you suggest, spirits wise?

To be fair I enjoy having McDonalds burgers after I binge drink, so we think alike to some extent.

Gin is something of an acquired taste in my opinion. I mean it's not unpleasant, but it's never my first choice of drink. On the other hand gin drinkers swear by it. I knew a girl who never touched anything else but gin with a little lime juice.
You must try it out though, for all you know you might like it.

Got lynched in a mafia game. Therefore its drinking time. Still have half a bottle of rum, should get me nicely drunk. Be right back in 20 minutes.

I see it was nice.
