You’ll get better taste (and cheaper prices) opting for Flor de Caña, Cruzan or Gosling’s instead of Bacardi as your gold and white rums. http://www.macheterum.com/2017/12/rum-best-buys.html If you have a Costco nearby,...

& Mount Gay (for golds) or Flor De Cana (dry white) or Matusalem Platino (white). For more expensive “mixing” I might use Cruzan Single Barrel (for very mild tails) or Kaniche Martinique for a very very good gold....

. And a bit more rum (Trader Joe’s Cruzan) to finish. Next time you buy a pineapple, cut it into strips lengthwise and grill them. That’s my very favorite way to use pineapple. Link:...

), The Cruzan single barrel private reserve, and the 15 yr Clement: which I have a few bottles left from January... They knock the socks off most VSOPs and even XO Brandies when served neat in a snifter...no ice ever!!!! As far as...

. It is called Herb’s La Taqueria and I loved it. Of all the places we ate, this is the one which I would like to have close to me. I would be there regularly. It has the strip mall ambiance, but forget that. The food...

Islitas and Tepa Sehuayo. Both of these restaurants are in Watsonville so they have gone unnoticed by the many Cruzans who do not visit “South County”. Las Islitas, 1230 Main St, is a great little place specializing...

Gabriela’s gets high marks from Santa Cruzans. It’s charming, and right downtown. I was underwhelmed by the food. If you’re willing to drive “over the hill” Los Gatos has a great selection of really...

For sipping neat, I like Ron Zacapa Centenario or Pyrat Pistol. Cruzan Single Barrel is also good—it has a nice clean flavor, almost reminding me of bourbon. For mixing, I have a couple bottles of Mount Gay.

and fruity like Cruzan Light gets lost in a Mojito. So Flor De Cana Extra Dry or maybe Brugal White Label make for good Mojitos, since they have a bit of strength. 10 Cane throws an interesting taste into a Mojito, but I find it...

How about a snicker candy bar and a bottle of ice cold 151 Cruzan???...didn’t think so, i did partake of a rum cake several years ago that left several of us quite happy,sorry no recipe, buy I’ll bet you could bake...
