==Creating Distinctive Alcoholic Drink Recipes==
* So favored was rum, that the scarcity of it could be the cause of out and out rebellion on pirate ships. The meanest of all pirates from history, Blackbeard, once stated: "Such a day; rum all out. Our company somewhat sober; a damned confusion amongst us! Rogues a plotting. Talk of separation. So I looked sharp for a prize [and] took one with a great deal of liquor aboard. So kept the company hot, damned hot, then all things went well again."
* Molasses would leave the Caribbean for New England, be distilled into rum, which would be shipped to Africa in exchange for slaves, who would then be shipped to the Caribbean regions to tend the sugar plantations and harvest more sugar cane, to be converted to molasses. So prolific was this industry that by the mid seventeenth century tiny Rhode Island had more than thirty distilleries, twenty-two of them in Newport and in Massachusetts, sixty-three distilleries produced 2.7 million gallons of rum.
* It is therefore no accident that rum became so popular around the most prosperous pirating "Golden Era" of 1650 to 1740. This was also, coincidentally, about the time that the slave trade began to take off and New England entered the triangle between Africa and the Caribbean with rum being used as the currency of the slave trade.
* Sugar, rum, slaves, sailors and pirates all had a hand in the development of the New World, from whichever stand-point you look at it. So intrinsic is the relationship between all of these components that it is hard to determine which would exist without the existence of the other.
* Directions: Mix the regular and brown sugars and butter in a sauce pan. Set to a low heat until the butter melts. Be sure to stir occasionally. When the butter is melted, pour the mixture into a large bowl and add the ice cream. Beat together until the mixture is smooth. To make the buttered rum drink, fill 1/4 of a cup with the mixture, add about an ounce of rum substitute, and 3/4 of a cup of boiling water. Top with a pinch of nutmeg. The butter/ice cream/sugar mixture can be kept in a sealed container in the fridge for about two weeks, which makes it a cinch to prepare when you have unexpected company.
==Easy To Make Sweet Rum Pralines==
Rum punches are very popular in the Caribbean islands. Bajan Rum Punch is one of the oldest punches presumably created in the rum distilleries in Barbados. Travelers on cruises to the islands experience the "Rum Punch of the Day."
Once the Caribbean set the [http://laeparthar69.wordpress.com/2013/01/24/all-you-want-to-know-about-rum rum]ball in motion, it quickly spread to the American Colonies. In 1664, the first distillery for rum was set up in what is now Staten Island; a distillery in Boston quickly followed.
During World War two the national drink was rum and coke. With the rum market increasing and U.S. Productions slow due to the war, Puerto Rican rum was being imported at a massive rate. Sales were through the roof and there were a 100 different types of rum to choose from. Today there are only 12. However this type of rum has still maintained to be the best seller in the states, about 77 percent on rums imported is Puerto Rican rum. Making them the leaders in rum production.
Look up the internet or visit the website of Carouse to get some famous alcohol quotes that you can use to amuse your guests. "When the wine goes in, [http://aconac0.wordpress.com/item/what-not-to-drink-if-you-want-to-lose-weight strange]things come out"! Another amusing one is "I have taken more good from alcohol than alcohol has taken from me." Enjoy using these quotes when you are entertaining as you will hear many more from your friends if they are witty and enjoy sharing some of the best ones.
Last week, we started this series with a look at must-have gin and vodka for building your home bar. In this installment, we move on to another staple: rum. This libation is made from fermented and distilled sugar cane juice, or more commonly, molasses. Though most often associated with South America and the Caribbean, rum is made around the world and can exhibit wildly different characteristics from distillery to distillery. This variety makes this a particularly fun category to experiment with, but there are some essentials that you'll want to look at to start.
Heat the oven to 350. Combine the flour, baking powder, cornmeal, nutmeg and salt in a bowl and set aside. Cream butter in a bowl using a hand held mixer (helpful tip: cut a piece of wax paper in a round, force the beater stems through the paper and then into the mixer---homemade splash guard!), adding sugar until blended. Add yolks and vanilla. Add a splash of rum. Add the dry ingredients and then the milk/rum until the batter is smooth-do not over beat! If any rum remains, and it is 5 o'clock somewhere in the world, pour excess into a tall glass with ice and enjoy.
