I've gone to Wine World quite a bit, but never looking for rum until last week. My first priority was Demerara 151, and they have no Lemon Hart or Hamilton. I'll definitely go there for some of these others.

The Gilbert mixer is this one: https://img1.etsystatic.com/031/0/6183646/il_570xN.625358733_aqu9.jpg Someone repainted the column pastel pink, and I just don't have the expertise to strip or sand and repaint in the proper "jadite" green.

Here was my bar from about six years ago, when I worked a friend's house party. This is why having a menu, with a finite number of ingredients needed, is good for me: I brought absolutely everything pictured. This house had a long, steep concrete staircase, too.

This was the main party (at a hotel convention) two years ago (we skipped a year). Again, custom drinks. This is just liquor; glasses are all over a table to the right, and shelves behind are full of soda and mixers. The flip-top bottles behind the sink are homemade syrups; the blue bottles at far left are bitters. The weird-looking black thing on the white towel is the case for my pipe, I'm not sure why I set it there.

This party is in a hotel room, and this was the first year the party head splurged on a big suite, with an actual bar. It was a welcome change, having immediate access to a fridge. I'll probably pick up some sort of cheap, portable shelving for my glassware; that year, I used the only small table already in the room, a round thing with a granite top which weighed a ton and didn't hold much.
