Once again, I'm forced to make an unfortunate announcement: The Mai-Kai is running low on its Lemon Hart supply, and after much deliberation has decided on replacements:

El Dorado Original Dark will replace the 80-proof Lemon Hart rum that was used in drinks such as the Special Planters Punch and Yeoman’s Grog. I've already taste-tested a few of the cocktails and was pleased with this choice.

The more difficult choice, of course, was what to use as a substitute for LH 151 in the Zombie, 151 Swizzle, et al. It's not a big surprise that they went with Goslings Black Seal 151 for it's rich and dark flavor, and 151 punch.

I've posted a more in-depth report on my Mai-Kai Cocktail Guide thread:

Feel free to post comments over there if anyone has a chance to sample the drinks with the new rums.
