So I'm new to tiki drinks, rum, and cocktails, but have really enjoyed learning about the artistry that is involved in each of these phenomena. One of the best experiences I have had learning has been Kevin Upthegrove's Five Minutes of Rum podcast. Certainly, he has taught me a lot about rum, but he has also taught me A GREAT DEAL about making cocktails and tasting/enjoying them. Thank you Kevin.

Re: the inspiration for this particular post: I am enjoying Kevin's La Trinidad that he discusses in his podcast featuring Zaya rum (episode 16). If you like spiced rums (including a rum that you can sip neat-and really enjoy), try Kevin's cocktail:

La Trinidad

2 oz Zaya rum

1 oz fresh lime juice

1/2 oz cinnamon syrup

1 dash angosture bitters

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker. Shake well with ice cubes. Strain into a cocktail glass.

THANK YOU KEVIN!
