NEVER SAY DIE cocktail

Delicious white, gold, and dark rums mix followed by a medley of fruit flavors. Super cocktail! A reorder! Tribute to Beachcomber, circa 1960. Comes in at 22% ABV.

MIXING NOTES: Two of the rums were changed from the video to let the full flavors through. The 22% ABV now makes this an enjoyable cocktail. Arguably, most non-commercial bar tiki cocktails are enjoyed best around 21-25 %ABV. There are exceptions of course. Coruba Dark can be substituted for Myers’s Original with a subtle difference in taste. Adding the Whaler’s huge a big difference in ABV and woody taste.

POST VIDEO 2ND ROUND: I always try to improve!!! Cocktail was re-mixed per the recipe below and this rum mix is recommended to you.

WHY DO I KEEP CHANGING THINGS? I have over 175 rums to choose from and am not restricted nor sponsored in any way. Cocktails shown on video and possibly later remixed are not being sold for a profit and are made to the best of my experience and ability. Obviously, I cannot make the cocktails with all the combinations of rums, but based on my palate, the rums I choose are close to what I believe is best for you. The original recipes don't always specify the brand name rums, since they are selling booze, not necessarily rum perfection, which leads one to speculate at the liquor store and unnecessarily buy a multitude of rums to sample to try to develop the best libation. If you are going to enjoy a cocktail, why not seek the best. Hope this helps to see this Channel's vision...
