How to Store Rum

18 03 2008

The weekends excitement which lead to the discovery of my whizz bang, ridgy didge, real deal cocktail muddler, today had me thinking about what else to put in my Rum Room (something new for a change!), for those of you who haven’t read my rum room post then you probably are wondering what I’m talking about, you can catch up here:

The rum room diaries!

For those of you that do, you will know that I am currently planning and will one day soon begin creation of my little home away from home, my private getaway, my cocktail bar in suburbia – The Rum Room!

Wine lovers have their wine racks, ice buckets and de-canters. I want to know what cool things you readers have at home to make your rum drinking experience more enjoyable!

Do you prefer a tall glass, a short glass, lime, no lime, mint, dry or cola? Do you store your rums in the freezer, in a wine rack, under the bed? – I want to know it all so feel free to share your gadgets, gizmos, tips and techniques and don’t hold back, no body’s judging you! Sharing is caring, and that’s what I’m all about.

Can’t wait to read your responses!





The Rum Room

29 01 2008

The news is out! We all know the best place to enjoy rum drinks (short of an exotic location surrounded by crystal blue water and giant coconut bearing palm trees) is in your own home with your fellow rum lovin’ friends and I have decided to build the king of all home rum drinking areas (because the lounge is just too boring!) by creating my own exotic location at home, that’s right… I’m planning to build my “Rum Room”!!

In case you were wondering (I know you were) my “Rum Room” will be a room in my back garden shed (the room was already there when I bought the house and didn’t really know what to do with it until now – it’s a big shed!) and this room shall be dedicated to making and consuming rum drinks the way they should be made and consumed… in style, with friends, with the feet up and the hair down!

I’m still in the early stages of design for this exotic rum drinking room so I will add updates to this story as the room of all rooms come to life – stay tuned, this is going to be good!

In the mean time if any of you have a room of your house, a basement or attic, maybe a dedicated bar for sharing fun times with friends – I want to hear about it!
