Prepare to have your mind fucking blown: Rum + Ginger Ale is really good.  So good I can’t stop drinking it.  In Panama rum is real cheap, like $6 for a 750ml bottle at the supermarket.  This isn’t choke-it-down, gut-rot rum, this is grandpa’s! My rum of choice in Panama is called Abuelo.  It’s only 70 proof, and a little sweet which balances the ginger nicely.    Mix 1 part rum (ron en espanol) and 2 parts ginger ale over ice in a rocks glass.  Garnish with a lime wedge.  Read more...
