Thanks Kevin. Finally got some O.F.T.D. and currently enjoying a Pineapple Express (without Elemakule bitters). Next time I may substitute "spiced bitters," 1:1 mix of Angostura bitters and pimento dram.

Nice, sounds like a good way to get some extra spice notes into the cocktail. I do think it still works w/o the bitters but it has just a little less depth of flavor.

Thanks for listening to the show!

Love your podcast, Kevin! I've been binging the past month or so and just finished that Caliche episode. Another couple weeks and I should be caught up with you. I appreciate all the work and research you put into this--it's opened my eyes to a bunch of rums I might not ever have considered before.

Thanks for posting the other day, Kevin. It meant I saw your entry about Bacardi 8 again. Over the weekend, I’d picked up my first bottle and was looking for a recipe to try. Now I’m enjoying a Queen’s Road.

I guess that's the one positive aspect of my slow production schedule - fewer purchases. :)

That's a good question - I don't think I've updated the substitutions page in the last 12-18 months. I'll work on adding some of the more recent rums on the market.

Thanks!

Glad it wasn’t a slog. :)

As I think I said on the show, I’m biased because of my experience at the Rumpus Room, but I think the approach Tom and Kelly took with the book was a fun one...get your guests involved, use what you have, and have some fun!
