Martin Cate on Drinking in The Great Indoors
Smuggler’s Cove in San Francisco. The long days have returned and, for many, thoughts turn to warm days on the beach and toes in the sand. And what better companion on a summer day than a rum cocktail? Personally, I limit my enjoyment of rum-based cocktails to only four seasons a year, and when summer rolls around, you can bet I’ll be enjoying an exotic cocktail or three. So when I’m parched on that sweltering July day, I make a beeline straight to the nearest dark, windowless tiki bar.
What’s the Deal With Black Strap Rum?
Rum can be a sticky wicket to wrap your head around. Versions that have spent time in a barrel can then be rendered clear through filtering, leading unsuspecting consumers to think they’re light-bodied, Mojito-ready silver rum, while unaged bottles can gain a tawny or amber hue thanks to the addition of caramel color. And then, just to confuse us all, there’s black rum. So what exactly is it?

How to Start a Tiki Bar from Scratch
This first appeared on MUNCHIES in June 2016. I first got obsessed with tiki back in 1994. I was living and working in Washington, DC, and, at the urging of a co-worker, went to the Trader Vic's there, which is now sadly gone, in the basement of the DC Hilton. It was a November night, and it was drizzly and cold. I'd never heard of this place, but he told me, "The drinks are as big as your head. It's terrific." So we went. It's a big, marble, very imposing grey edifice of a hotel.
Rum Curious: The Indispensable Tasting Guide to the World's Spirit (Hardcover)
Once the drink of sailors and swashbuckling pirates, rum is the most versatile -- and the most varied -- spirit in the world. It is consumed neat as a sipping drink, on the rocks, and in a dizzying variety of cocktails like the mai tai, mojito, and pina colada.
The Harvey Wallbanger Recipe

Great Boozy Holiday Gifts
Photo: Michael Hession For the serious cocktail nerd, consider pairing two new books: A Proper Drink, by New York Times writer Robert Simonson, and Regarding Cocktails, by Sasha Petraske. The former, recommended by both Talia Baiocchi and Martin Cate, is more nonfiction than recipe book, a history of the craft cocktail revival of the past 20 years. The book starts in the Rainbow Room in New York City and moves on to San Francisco, then London, then to Eastern Europe.
How to Create a Modern Tiki Cocktail - Lucky Peach
During the golden era of tiki bars in the United States, the siren call that would lure you through the bamboo doors most often included the words “exotic cocktails.” “Tropical drinks,” “tiki cocktails,” or “Polynesian cocktails” may also have been used, but the romantic in me still prefers the term “exotic cocktail” because it so neatly captures the time period and desire to escape to somewhere mysterious.
