Had I read your book 10 years ago, I might not have burnt out on making Tiki cocktails at home. But back then I tried buying everything I could find. In the end, despite having an overflowing liquor cabinet full of used-once items, I never seemed to have that one ingredient I needed. And after being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, I lost my interest in almost all Tiki drinks because of their high sugar content.

That said, after purging my liquor cabinet of extraneous booze, I more or less have the rums that correspond to your six categories. I mostly drink them straight. Expect for the light, filtered rums. I mix them into drinks for my guests.
