Aloha AceExplorer, Sunny&Rummy, et al.

I'll have to look for Dr. Cocktail in Superbad. That story makes me wonder how many of the bottles pictured in the book are re-creations, or at least "refurbished." I love the Bum's story about going out drinking with him when they were both trying to figure out old cocktail recipes. Apparently he spent a lot of time going to various bars and coaxing bartenders into making old recipes that he'd dug up.

By all means, there's nothing wrong with a good gin (or whiskey or tequila) cocktail. But for me, the operative word would be "good." My tastebuds are a lot more forgiving with rum drinks. And my bar runneth over with rums, so 90% of my imbibing is centered around cane spirits.

Speaking of which, I think I'll go whip up a Shark Bite in honor of Shark Week ...
