Today we continue the journey into the Rum Barrel with Trader Vic's Rum Keg. Because of technical difficulties I couldn't share too much of the tasting notes between myself and Kevin Crossman but we really didn't have a lot to say. Neither one of us loved the drink and I doubt I'd ever make it again.

There needs to be Donkey Kong somewhere along this barrel mug series

If only Jeff Granito's donkey Kong rum barrel shirt is available now instead of preorder lol
I don't even think a super funky Jamaican rum like Hamilton Pot Still Black or Doctor Bird would really hold up with this ratio.
Who doesn't love a good rum barrel!
Loving these rum barrel videos. Perhaps at the end we'll get a Make and Drink original rum barrel spec?

Sounds peachy!
Thanks for yet another great video - and thanks for your honesty! I probably won’t be making this one, but I will make Donns version again instead to keep the streak alive :-) Video issues aside - the guest appearances are a great feature!!
2:35 Seizure warning!!! Also, in my head was "Well we're back, and it's another day because I made a drink for two, drank it all, and don't really remember much after that." 🤣
Some cocktail you drink, some cocktails you skip. Derek, thanks for letting us know which fork in the road to take.
Even though I wont be making this - I still love the content! Had my first Smugglers Cove rum barrel the other week and it surpassed the hype. But I also love all things allspice so it hit the spot for me. Excited for this series!

SC Rum Barrel is one of the greatest drinks ever made!
1 oz is a lot of lemon juice!
What a bummer your footage was lost! At least you were able to get his final take on the drink. That rum barrel glassware is amazing! Not sure where you picked that up but I want one!

It's from Trader Vics!
Speaking of playlists, I'd love it if you made a Spotify playlist of music from your videos. You always have such good tracks. I would have that on while hosting a tiki drink party this summer!

@@makeanddrink I can work with that! In fact, if you made one on Apple music, I'd volunteer to duplicate it over to spotify for others to use.
Amaizing drink very tart!
I would cut the lemon juice down to 2 oz and increase the pineapple up to 6 oz to strike a good balance
Seems tart! Have you thought about making the Demarara Dry Float (SC?) I had this drink at Paradise Lost and it was the most memorable for me.

Had this at the Atlanta location a few months ago. Historic, but meh. Sorry about the technical issues. Hope you get that figured out!
"It's lacking what you want a Rum Barrel to be." Which for me is...rum. Seems like there wasn't enough rum to balance out all the other liquid, espcially all that lemon juice!
Has anyone else tried the Nico's Rum Barrel form the Golden Tiki? It's my absolute favorite tiki cocktail and I have no idea what the recipe is.
A Trader Vic drink that's too tart? No way
Any ideas as to why Trader Vic's drinks tend to be so acidic? Was it his palette, or is something lost in translation?

I don't really know
Wouldn’t using a passionfruit syrup in addition to the rock candy address some of the tartness issues?
@makeanddrink

It might, but the cut down version I made you'd only be reducing the passion fruit by 1/4 oz if you halved it and then increasing sugar by 1/4 oz. It was plenty sweet with the syrup, pineapple, and apricot. It needed more rum and less lemon since it's 1 oz of lemon for each 1 1/2 oz of rum.
