Well I know a LOT more about rum than about drinks. I have been heavily researching rums for 3 years now - it's a tough job - but I just started getting into cocktails only a few months ago. I have found that I like rums a lot, and that I lean more towards sweet than sour. So last month I decided to go back to my youth and research Tiki drinks. I "grew up" on standard east coast Cinese/Polynesian restaurants and their "single rum and sour mix" Mai Tais, so I guess I'm regressing. But I'm regressing with passion - and books by Beachbum Bery, Trader Vic, and Donn Beach.

Anyway, I certainly have some rums to try. I've got about 20 bottles of rum around here - 4 generic and 16 not-very-generic-at-all. We'll see if we can find some good matches for some tiki drinks.

Edit: I am NOT bringing my measly collection of 5 tiki mugs after seeing your collection! Lol!
