Smuggler’s Cove is pleased to announce that author Wayne Curtis will be at Smuggler’s Cove starting at 6pm on Thursday, April 15th. Wayne is the author of one of the greatest books on rum ever written, “And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails”. Wayne is a freelance writer based in New Orleans who writes extensively about travel and cocktails, and tales of his adventures can be found at http://www.slowcocktails.com. Wayne will be selling and signing copies of “And a Bottle of Rum”, and if you don’t have a copy of this great book, this is an excellent chance to pick one up! Wayne will be available for questions, general rum talk, and he probably won’t object to having someone buy him a drink as well. See you there!

There's an August 2006 NPR interview with Wayne Curtis here. The audio link is still live and there's a complete transcript of the interview. The link was originally posted by GatorRob in the thread "And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in 10 Cocktails." And I probably violated some copyrights be re-posting an excellent article by Curtis: The Atlantic: Supersized Cocktails...The drinking man’s case for smaller servings. Curtis's blog Slow Cocktails is definitely worth reading. He was just at the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America convention in Las Vegas and there are some pointers for products you might want to plan on avoiding (such as Nutliquor peanut butter flavored vodka).

Special Event!
