You people amaze me. I have read about Angostura bitters in some recipes, and one day in Safeway , next to the Roses lime cordial was 3 bottles of the stuff. So I take one home with me. I simply tried the recipe on the back for a simple rum punch. Now I used a dark rum and may have added a little too much bitters - but it was poor.
Not to give up too easy - some things are acquired tastes, I retried with a Havana Club white rum I keep for company. I can't stand the stuff by itself or with a soda of any flavour.
WOW! this was nice. quickly made another. Have been experimenting with the bitters quantity all week. Gonna have to get another bottle of rum. This is gonna be an awesome summer drink with all the crushed ice keeping it nice and cold.
So now I come back to the MOR site here and see the threads on bitters and read a few. Another whole world to check out and so many of you have been way down the roads and checked them all out too.
Is there anything about rum and mixes Tiara doesn't know? I downloaded some of her food recipies too and they sound delicious. need some time to try a couple this summer. Rummies Rock!
