Not everyone has access to fine, aged rums. Although they represent everything bad about trendy, vacuous bars, the flavored rums still have their place. I say, why buy coconut rum when I already have rum and coconut cream? Why buy vanilla vodka? Orange gin? Etc... Flavored liqueurs I can understand. I have a good many, from coffee to creme de cassis. And I admit I used to really like Absolut Curant. But, in terms of mixing a cocktail, few are needed. One recipe in Berry's books calls for Coconut rum.
