Mahalo for the kind words! Since the Hamilton rums arrived, I've been so caught up with the current menu that I hadn't tried it yet in any of the retired cocktails. The Demerara Cocktail and Demerara Float are both great vehicles for that rum. I may ask The Mai-Kai to mix up a few of both of those next week during Miami Rum Fest.

You'll be happy to know that I just confirmed that the Hamilton rums are in good supply at The Mai-Kai, and Ed Hamilton also just confirmed that the latest batch with the new label is now out in distribution. Check here if you want to track it down by distributor:

Here are the drinks that currently use the 86 and 151 proof Hamilton rums:

151 proof

  • 151 Swizzle (strong)
  • Jet Pilot (strong)
  • Shrunken Skull (strong)
  • Special Planters (strong)
  • Zombie (strong)

151 and 86 proof

  • K.O. Cooler (strong)

86 proof

  • Bora Bora (strong)
  • Oh So Deadly (mild)
  • Sidewinder's Fang (strong)
  • S.O.S. (mild)
  • Yeoman's Grog (strong)

Now that I'm certain it's in ample supply, I'll be updating all the above reviews and also tweaking at least one of the recipes. There will also be an updated story on the Lemon Hart-Hamilton saga.

Okole maluna!
