You may think you already know all there is to know about
rum through drinking
piña coladas and
daiquiris, but let's see if my quiz (in honor of tomorrow being National Rum Day) can stump you. Are you ready to rummmmble? Let's begin!
At
Spruce, an upscale bar and restaurant in San Francisco, I came across the papa doblé daiquiri on the bar menu and knew I had to order it. I love this drink for several reasons, and one of them is the
legendary story behind it. The papa doblé was the signature drink of prolific writer Ernest Hemingway.
When I saw this
frozen strawberry margarita, I suddenly had a hankering for a fruity blended beverage. Usually when I want berries and booze, I'll go for a
strawberry daiquiri, but I have to admit that I love margaritas even more. How about you?
Whenever I'm up in the mountains at my vacation house - as I am now - my mother and I spend every afternoon lying by the pool, indulging in a cocktail (or 2) at happy hour. Usually I order piña coladas, but since this week was the
4th, I've been ordering strawberry daiquiris instead. With such a beautiful vibrant red color, and the sweet/sour taste combination of pureed strawberries and fresh squeezed lime juice, how could one not look exceptionally chic sipping this by the pool?
