The Don Q range

Hemingway drank it in doubles and Bluebeard pirated the seven seas fueled on the stuff. It's rum, and it's due for a comeback. Taste what's next at the Don Q Rum mix-off tonight at Walnut Room (1709 Walnut St., second floor) where yours truly will be judging the liquid offerings of competitors, all members in good standing of the United States Bartenders Guild PA chapter. Supersommelier Marnie Old and Alfa's Kenny Shug will preside beside me on the high bench, where we will render judgement according to our constitutions. Complimentary Don Q cocktails for all comers will flow from 7-10 p.m.; contest begins at 8 p.m. Flaunting your sugar plantation-style in tropical threads earns admiring glances/batted lashes.

Glad to see RUM popping up in tasting and judgings more and more around the country. It truly is the spirit of the gods.
