Rum is made from sugarcane juice or it’s by product, the molasses through the process of fermentation and distillation. There are two types of rum, white and dark. White rum is normally used in cocktails and dark rum is usually used for cooking. It is believed that fermented drinks made from sugarcane originated from either China or India. Early South East Asians settlers (including in Malaysia) produced rum from molasses. Rum is a popular drink in the Caribbean and most of the world supply of rum is produced around here.
Although, I prefer whisky on the rock or red wine but occasionally I would go for my favourite Malibu with 7 Up cocktail. Anyway, I have cut down drinking alcohol drinks to almost zero nowadays but on and off it is rather relaxing to have a shot or two. I got this bottle of Malibu, Caribbean White Rum with coconut while holidaying in Tioman Island quite sometime ago. I bought if from the duty free shop in the island. It blends well with fruit juices such as orange, pineapple or grapefruit but I prefer to mix it with 7up. I just love the lemon and coconut taste mixture of Malibu with 7up. Pop in some ice into the cocktail and ‘Cheers’! So, what is your favourite drink?
I learnt to drink in the 70s drinking rum coke...and later acquired the taste for beer. Now I don't drink anymore... Gout! Good also - very expensive!
ReplyDeleteBailey! That's it :P.
ReplyDeleteI like 7Up with Minute maid orange juice. It just taste like ORange Mc Friz....

STP : Ya agree, liquor quite expensive because of the tax. I rarely drink these days also. Makan-makan better.....LOL!
ReplyDeleteLadyviral : Haaaah, Bailey your favourite....very long I didn't drink that already.
Josephine : Healthy mix, sometimes I add some canned fruits to the Ribena and 7up...good cocktail for party!
I don't drink much. For alcoholic drinks, I prefer red wine. For soft drinks, it's Coke though I hardly drink it unless during a party or something.
ReplyDeleteI guess I just like to drink iced milo : )
Foongpc : Looks like milo is quite a favourite drink for Malaysians. I like it too. I remember, I used to make ice cubes from milo! Yummy!
