It seems there is a great divide among drinkers out there: you’re either creamy or not. For some, the thought of a rich, indulgent after-dinner drink - filled with Kahlua or Bailey’s topped with cream - is a transcending experience, and then there are those who vehemently disagree. We are not saying the naysayer opinion is wrong; we’ve learned that never bodes well in the comment section, but the beauty of being able to masterfully combine dessert and alcohol is more than a treat, it’s a work of art.

We know the scene so well. Friends sitting around, looking bored, perhaps stranded in some dark train station, and then Barcardi (rum) shows up. The group is almost instantaneously transported to a tropical paradise, clad with buxom blondes in bikinis and a steel drum band. The party has begun. We’ve seen the commercial too many times and maybe even threw a bash or two, making Captain Morgan our guest of honor. There is no question that rum has earned somewhat of a reputation as the party animal of liquors – the bottle behind the bar with the lampshade on its head. But what if we were to tell you there is another side to rum – a serious, complex and even deep side? Would you believe that while it can be a central component to a fun, flirty cocktail – rum could also be a rich, intense spirit? There is a whole other side to rum that most of us never see. But with just a little shift in perspective, it’s clear that rum can be business up front AND party in the back. Maybe even the mullet of liquors.
