I like Meyers Dark, but lately my wife and I have really gotten into Cruzan Vanilla Rum and Coke. It's simple and tastes very good. As vanilla rums go, the Cruzan has a much better vanilla than others I've tried.
I know that mojitos are traditionally a light rum drink, but I have had a few down here that have been spectacular made with either gold or anejo Havana Club (Cuban Rum). Anyone have a good mojito recipe as well?
Make a Moito very much like a Mint Julep. Begin crushing a couple of sprigs of mint in 2 teaspoons of sugar (superfine or powered works best) and a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice (fresh if you want to go to the trouble in a tall glass (highball). Stir in a jigger of (light) rum. Fill the glass with ice cubes (crushed ice is even better). Fill with seltzer or club soda. Top off with a garnish of a lemon slice and a mint sprig.
I'm in Puebla, Mexico - it used to show it on the sidebar, but ever since the forums got updated that stuff disappeared (I just updated it again). I'm headed to get some mint tommorrow from the grocery store, will let you know how it turns out.
Flor de Cana Anejo(Nicaragua) is probably my favorite US-available rum, great stuff if you can find it in your local bottle shop.
