For cocktails, balance and proportioning of quality rums, juices, syrups and flavoring is essential. Here, also, I suggest mixing up tried-and-true recipes from one of the Bum's books as a good way of learning "how things work" and also what you like. The above steps are the initial fun part of picking up rums and tiki drinks. It's easier to do if you have tiki bars or friends with home tiki bars in your vicinity. You're not gonna like every drink, and that's ok. It's about experimenting and finding your own groove. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me after my frontal lobotomy.
