Happy National Rum Day {What a Long Strange Trip It's Been}

There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion. Lord Byron

If you had offered me Rum two years ago, I would've declined.... I really was never a Rum drinker. That was before my first Dragonberry Mojito, which is kind of where this whole PDA {Public Display of Alcoholism} began.... well, my Rum journey has definitely been an evolution and I thought I would share that trip with you for NATIONAL RUM DAY {I was pretty shocked to see what a long strange trip it's been}!

My first Rum Love
The Dragonberry Mojito

My First Creation
The Blue Mojito

Taking it South
The Keylime Mojito

It goes with coffee too
The Jamaican Latte

Give a man a fish;
you have fed him for today.
Teach a man to fish;
and you have fed him for a lifetime”

I've had a similar Mojito experience....
The Elderflower Mojito
