If you are interested in furthering your rum knowledge (and lets face it, we all are) there are some great resources for getting your hands on some cocktail recipe books, entertaining reads and rum stories or perhaps a bit of rum history.
Like this book for example that combines both:
“And a Bottle of Rum tells the raucously entertaining story of America as seen through the bottom of a drinking glass.”
The book discusses a different cocktail each chapter with its relation to American history! From the rum drinks sailors drank on the high seas in the 1700s all the way to the present mojito drinking club goers.
Author Wayne Curtis “reveals that the homely spirit once distilled from the industrial waste of the exploding sugar trade has managed to infiltrate every stratum of New World society.“
Who would have thought our quiet little thursday night spoil would have served such a big part in shaping a nation!

Where in Australia can we purchase Negrita Rum?
Many thanks
Hi Pat, I bought a bottle of Negrita Spice from Dan Murphy’s. They have a great variety of rums and are very well priced! Happy shopping : )
