Today we’re making 5 delicious rum drinks! Truth is I have too many favorites to count, but I especially love this lineup. Over the years, I’ve tried each of these drinks with different ratios & ingredients. Here are the recipes I’ve found I liked the best. Pick some rums you like and use quality ingredients (good grenadine is crucial in the Shrunken Skull). Hope you enjoy all of these! Cheers!

Absolutely are! I also made a Presidente riff with Wray and Nephew, Banana liqueur, and C+Sons fassionola (no good replacement for the blanc vermouth that I found.) It's a fun take, very different flavors though!

Sheesh Anders I still need to make last week’s Hemingway Daiquiri! The only cocktail here I haven’t made is the Doctor, but since I have all of your improved Mary Pickford’s ingredients, I think that’s up next.

Hi Anders, I'm from Argentina and I really enjoy your videos. I have a question that might seem really dumb but I haven't seen it addressed in your videos or other similar channels either: if you need to make two of the same cocktail, do you shake it all together doubling the ingredients? or do you make it twice? this might seems obvious but maybe I'm missing something, at the very least you wouldn't be able to double the amount of ice
TO THE BAR! ➡️🥃
Fun fact. Swedish punch is served with a traditional meal served Thursdays, pea soup with thin pancakes. A main and dessert. The pancakes are served with whipped cream and a red berry jam. Works great with punch. We also drink it at midsummer celebration to accompany the dessert, a sponge cake with strawberries and cream. I learned this cocktail from a regular 15 years ago working a bar in Stockholm, Sweden. He called it Dr Cocktail. Cheers and keep up the great work 🎉

That sounds amazing! ❤❤❤
Got excited, as a swede, to see a cocktail with punsch in it! Gonna get me a bottle of punsch and make it. If you want something else to do with punsch I recommend Punsch Coffee. Punsch, coffee and whipped cream! Cheers!
In Sweden and Finland punsch is drunk on Thursdays along with pea soup and pancake. Anyway, as an ingredient it adds strong arrack notes.
Ok, so I normally dread the paid product/service promotional stuff, but I have to say that intro was the best that I've seen anyone on KZread do. I actually enjoyed watching it... I think you have another budding star in the family... and the drinks were pretty cool too. 😄

I've been expanding my rum cocktail repertoire recently, so this video is perfectly timed.
30mm white rum 30mm Galliano vanilla 30mm triple sec 15mm fresh lemon juice Ice in glass topped up with sugar free lemonade. (80mm) It’s delicious
Anders, El Presidente is one of my favourites (first cocktail I made after watching your video) - I make it with Havana Club, homemade grenadine, and I use Lillet Blanc - it goes really well with Havana Club! 🍸 Cheers guys, and enjoy the weekend!

I also make it with Lillet Blanc (and, incidentally, also most of the time with Havana Club 3). It's really a great Cocktail!
I love Rum and it feels like a summer spirit. all of these enter my rotation at home. thanks Anders :)
The shrunken skull and El Presidente are already two of my favorites to make, now I have three more to add to my lineup. The El Presidente is the first cocktail I ever made that impressed someone who knew about cocktails. It is an elegant and wonderful drink. And the Shrunken Skull is truly simple but refreshing and summery. Great lineup.
The little umbrella has a purpose!! Idk why I never thought of the obvious...It keeps the sun off the ice when you have the cocktail outside! So good.
“Although, truth be told I’ve got probably a hundred favorite rum drinks.” Bless this man and his craft!!! ❤❤
I remember making some very pricey *Shrunken Skulls* because the only Demerara rum at the store was El Dorado 12💸 Totally worth it. 10/10 drink👍
Anders comin’ in clutch with the Rum Cocktails. I’ve been getting into Rum like crazy these last few weeks. Thanks so much!!

Thanks again Anders. Happy weekend!
I always enjoy your videos, but especially because you're one of the few who takes rum seriously. Cheers!
Great selection, thanks for sharing those with us, Anders, Cheers! Can’t wait to make them, they all sound delicious.
Friday.. it sure is.. what a blessed day.. and what blessed list of rum cocktails to try! many thanks.
My husband and I love rum drinks! These look fun and delicious! I just found your channel. Thanks for the recipes.
YESS!! I love a good list video!
I appreciate this channel. Holy cow, what a great selection.

Happy mixing!
Woah, odd timing. Absolutely excited to watch! I love me some rum!
I think that was the first sponsor ad I actually completely watched
The “Dr.” Is now one of my favorites, balanced and verrrryyyy easy to drink. Thank you
Who said you can't have a classy rum cocktail? NOBODY!!
The El Presidenté is the drink that made me fall in love with blanc vermouth.
Yeaaa that’s my guy ! Love the rum drinks
I like the little dance when makin the El Presidente! XD
I love the color of el presidente, it's my go-to stirred drink.
Oh wow! This summer is going to be fun😊
I’ll definitely try all five of them! Love the puppy dog!❤
Much needed video, now that I'm going on a 3.5 week vacation. Will try them all. 🌞🍹😁
Great tasting, easy to prepare drinks that help you beat the heat. Another great video.
I just made the mary pickford I didn't have the liquer I muddled bleberries added a splash of water strained it I put all spice bitters i it had so much depth a must try
Making The Doctor in approximately 6 hours🤒 Definitely using Doctor bird rum too!
This video is pure magic
The Mary Pickford with an egg white is excellent!
I just bought a bottle of Appleton Estate yesterday so thanks for this haha.
I really love a good rum cocktail. I’ve been making a lot of daiquiris this summer. I gotta try this lineup.
Yum! Rum drinks!!
Rum cocktails....that's made my weekend
It is inevitable Mr. Erickson. Weekend 🤔 Saturday and Rumday
So many good ones in this lineup. Fwie, I love the Diffords riff on El Presidente with dry, bianco, and rosso vermouths. More complicated, but worth it. Cheers!
Yes! Time for drinks. Cheers 🍻
Crazy I just bought a bottle of Havana club 3 years old, I’m watching this while drinking a very good mojito
I love the El Presidente, a very classy and drinkable cocktail.
An aged rum old fashioned is near perfection.
YESSSSSS!!!!! COCKTAIL FRIDAY!!!!🎉🥂🍹🍸🥃
Excellent video. I've long been a fan of the El Presidente. (And I'm really jealous of the glass you used for the Doctor)
Rum cocktails, just in time for vacation? Yes! Also, I have noticed that cocktail channels do the best paid product ads.
Thanks for the pineapple frond tip!
Thank you Anders for adding cocktail ideas to my life which is a drinking game with fluctuating complicated rules
That was without a doubt, the best video of a sponsor. What a good boy.
I love how we're in a world where Anders has to clarify the cocktail isn't actually for his dog...

Loved the sign-off
Queen's Park Swizzle is my personal fav... it's unbelievable.
El Presidente is an all time fave of mine
I will be making all of these. ❤
Anders has a video, my weekend can start
Loved the GrubHub plug starring your dog!!! Adorable and what a clever idea!
Nice one Anders. Will end my sobriety with some of these
Well as a Lover of rum who has a mythical fairy who moonshines it, I love being able to experiment. My 2 favs with my fairy frinds shine are an "Old fashion with rum" and El Presidente.
They all look delicious! The Queen’s Park and El Presidente sound the best to me. The Shrunken skull also sounds good.
This was fun. I am not as fond of rum as other options but the simpler ones are ones I would be most likely to try to do.
I just got my first El Dorado 12 bottle in my life. Ill try in a cocktail of yours!
Let's gooo🥳🥳🥳 Just what I needed tonight
I love to use Plantation OFTD in my El Presidente. Very strong, very tasty!
I usually skip the sponsored content but when I saw this cute puppy I couldn't skip anymore haha
The shrunken skull is a favourite of mine. I need to try it with a combination of rums, because I usually just use El Dorado 12. Happy weekend Anders.

I have been a sloppy old beer drinker forever, but because I love to cook, started exploring cocktails. I have built up my bar and drink selection almost exclusively around your seductively shot videos - and I mean the booze, although you are also very entertaining. Just made the Shrunken Skull. Super good. I'm always blown away by how a few simple ingredients make such contemplative and tasty concoctions. Didn't have the exact rums, but it didn't matter. I also like to add a couple maraschino cherries with tiki drinks, and let them freeze out, to become little cherry pops at the end. Thank you for your service.

Perhaps on the other side of your portal you can use the eye seeds to build “the creepy side of the nether” for a heavy contrast vibe.
The best ad I’ve ever seen 😁
Hey Anders. I wanted to start off by saying I absolutely love all your videos and you single handedly got me into cocktails. I love how you gave variety on these. My only constructive criticism is that I personally wish you would have done drinks that you haven't previously covered. Just my opinion. Great content as always and keep making drinks!

Well, as someone who lives by what arrives in their inbox, I appreciate being reminded of cocktails that have dropped off my radar, or, that I'm ready to tackle now, when I wasn't before. My friends know I need reminding. Ready for the Presidente now!
Your sponsor commercials are starting to become as epic as the @InternetHistorian commercials,.. they're worth watching and not to be skipped,.. like the cocktails,.. I'm going for the El Presidente!
They all sound good. I will try the Presidente tonight, as I have the ingredients.
Shrunken Skull is almost a QP Super Cocktail. I’m excited to try!
Rum might just be the best spirit out there. I’ve gotten into it now, and realized very very quickly that I am a rum person. Can’t wait to stock out a bar full of nothing but rum lol
Definitely looking forward to The Dr! Wondering if I can use Allspice Dram in place of the punsch? ( I know I can but before I try wondering if it will be similar? I don’t have the Swedish Punch
This whole video was awesome, but the sponsor part was the best I’ve ever seen!
I really like the Kingston Negroni, Jamaican rum, campari, and sweet vermouth. I use Smith and Cross navy strength, 2 1 1, but I'm a fan of the funk
Awesome!
Just got some rums (like a demerara rum) for my birthday, which is tomorrow, time to mix :)
1:02 That is one super cute Cocktail Snobe!! 😆
Thanks Anders, I’ll actually be making a jungle bird using Smith and Cross!! Funky rum is the best
I like to make the Queen’s Park Swizzle when I have people over in the summer. 1) it’s delicious but 2) it has an awesome name!
Hi Anders, i recently heard that you originally moved to Chicago for acting. I wanted to say congrats on your appearance in the Barbie movie! I was happy to see my favorite bartender learning spanish
i watch these and im all about just sticking to whats quick and simple for me xD
Example...2 oz of your favorite rum, 1/2 oz of a rich demerara syrup, add 1 oz of a liquor you have never heard of before. Available on the third Tuesday of each month at a watermelon stand in Finland...well 10 miles down the road from the watermelon stand...where a blind monk with gout and who speaks only a lost language and accepts only 200-year-old wampum as payment make leftover bottle available as long as you have a 'interested spirit'. Mix that all together in a colins glass and enjoy...Don't worry you will find the Finish liquor abhorrent in most applications but is essential in this one. JK. You guys are the best.
Queen’s park and El Presidente look so good. I’ve just gotten into rum thanks to watching videos on the queen’s park swizzle. I tried making a queen’s park swizzle and it was ok. Yours looks better than mine turned out.
Bra jobba Anders og god helg :)
Great stuff…my current fav rum cocktail = Mexican Pirate Ship FTW!
I am pretty sure I will be giving most, if not all, of these a try this weekend!

@@AndersErickson Thank you kindly! I hope your weekend is a good one as well. A few nights ago I gave the Jet Pilot a go and it was pretty awesome! I never really tried a drink with three different kinds of rum in it like that before but I was able to find bits of all three in the taste. I think it is my new favorite rum drink.
I would like to suggest a variant of the Shrunken Skull that I love to make called the Screaming Skull. It is exactly the same recipie, but you drop the grenadine down to 3/4 of an ounce and add in one solid dash of angostura. This gives the drink a slight bitterness and earthiness that makes it a bit more complex and pushes it over to top for me. Enjoy!
Have never made an El Presidente with Probitas, I think I'm going to have that this evening.
I've had an obsession with mojitos for years, until I learned about the queen's Park swizzle. God damn I can't tell how much I love this drink!
Loved the intro. Sweet doggie.
