Infinite MonkeysI'm mainly writing this to prod Ben to do the right thing, ignore his work and family, and do more booze blogging.
I called Ben the other day, and told him, "you're like the opposite of my A.A. sponsor--I call you when I want to drink, and need a recommendation." I had just purchased some Gosling Black Seal Bermuda rum, so Ben suggested the Dark & Stormy. I actually made it with the rum on top, because it looked cool and I didn't know any better.
This afternoon, I decided to knock off work early, and based on one of my favorite drink menus (sadly, no longer live on the site--that's a Wayback link) have a natural Daiquiri--3/4 oz lime juice, 1/4 oz simple sugar syrup (I used a strong one I found at Williams-Sonoma), and 2 oz good white rum, shaken and strained into a cocktail glass (I actually didn't strain it, because I like the ice, and I did a floater of some dark rum, because I like it, and it's the Summer of Rum).
