We can't always get the same stuff the great mixologists used, but the Beachbum really goes to the wall to try and offer reasonable -- and delicious -- modern substitutions. I've gone from one lousy bottle of white PR rum to a shelf of 8 rums and now the syrups, bitters and liqueurs are starting to crowd me, too. And there's a package due any minute from Surfa's (peeks out window for the UPS truck...)
