As far as alcoholic drinks go, I go through phases. I don't like "dark" beers, mostly sweet ambers or ales... and then, mostly while I'm munching on food (especially something spicy). Wine, mead, cider, that's all good. I can get messed up on Jamison whiskey or good quality tequila (just remember the lime!).
But when it comes to rum, I like coconut rum mixed with coca-cola and a squeeze of lime juice. I had it once at a fancy meeting where I was asked to escort my friend Bonnie because she wanted a friend to be there with her that knew how to be well behaved and could clean up well. They had an open bar, and the bartender offered to make something different for me as I mentioned I just wanted something to sip that wasn't like hard liquor.
Great, now I'm craving a drink.
I wonder if I should find some and try it again. It's been like twenty years or so ago, my taste sense may have changed.
