I have subbed in the Myers' and it worked well. I tend to avoid Capt. Morgan products, but if you have a limited selection available, definitely try it as well. Can't recall playing with Goslings (or Coruba or Cruzan) dark in the Frankie's recipes.

Ironically, I avoid the recipes with energy drinks, but I went out of my way to buy the Stroh's rums for the book. Bass-ackwards, but that's what I did because of how unique the Stroh's flavor and aroma is in the drinks.

It's nice that we do not have to use the exact same rums called for in recipes. The drinks would not be the same by name, but you would often find yourself "in the circle" in close enough proximity to the bullseye to consider it a success. There are exceptions, like using Stroh's as a sub for Pusser's in a painkiller. (Gotta try that!)

I agree - theirs is a helluva fun book with great presentation ideas and photos.
