Rum

I did some research and found that most rum is in fact imported from the West Indies

In regards to your question....the answer is yes. I am a bartender, and they do have it in handles. Have fun, be careful !

You might as well since you'll be pouring it over ice anyways.

The precursors to rum date back to antiquity. Development of fermented drinks produced from sugarcane juice is believed to have first occurred either in ancient India or China, and spread from there. An example of such an early drink is brum. Produced by the Malay people, brum dates back thousands of years. Marco Polo also recorded a 14th-century account of a "very good wine of sugar" that was offered to him in what is modern-day Iran.

Depends on size. A 750ml bottle can cost about $20. A 1.75L bottle can cost about $30. Also depends on flavor.

Bacardi 151 is a brand rum produced by the Bacardi Limited company which is located in Hamilton in Bermuda. You may also find a bottle of Bacardi 151 with its 75.5% alcohol rating for sale on the website known as thewhiskyexchange.

Diabetics should consult their physician before consuming alcohol of any kind, due to possible drug interactions with their medication.

The answer is yes, but in moderation. When alcohol is consumed, the liver works hard to remove the excess alcohol from your blood. Because the liver is working on managing the excess alcohol in your blood, the liver's ability to release or produce glucose decreases, causing hypoglycemia. Taking Insulin, and other diabetic medications that stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin may further increase the risk for hypoglycemia if alcohol is consumed.

1 1/2 oz of gin is considered one alcoholic drink. And each alcoholic drink counts as 2 servings of a fat exchange.

1.5oz in a shot of 80 proof rum

At a rough guess... probably around 70 per ounce. This is typical for rums of that approximate proof.

On an unrelated note... naming a brand of spiced rum after Horatio Nelson, whose body was preserved after his death at the Battle of Trafalgar by loading it into a keg of brandy, seems rather in poor taste.

750 mL

a liter is about a quart

four quarts to the gallon (a volume unit you should be familiar with)

this comes out to be 19.8% of a gallon

which we all know is just about a fifth of a gallon. (1/5 = .20)

MOLASSES

Sugar cane plant come from the far pacific island, via China and India to Brazil. ST..HILAIRE Begorrat, a French creole colonist, introduced it to Trinidad. People also said to be one of the main instigators of the Calypso art form. while rum on the other hand may be described as heavy or light, depending on the purity to which they are distilled. Rum produced on a continuous still is considered 'good light rum'. Rum made on potstill, in your backyard, bush rum or 'babash' may be described as heavy.

I believe rum can be frozen. The problem is that you need to achive the temperature of -40 degrees to freeze 80 proof liquor. If you do manage to freeze your rum I suggest that you do not drink it while it is thawing because it will burn your mout and throat.

While I can not give you an exact time, as there are MANY MANY variables involved such as quantity, temperature it's stored in, type of container it's stored in, etc. I would say quite a few years if not several decades(depending on if the seals have been broken). This is namely due to the fact that very few bacteria can survive in an alcohol rich environment.

Bacardi was founded in 1862 in Santiago de Cuba, by Don Facundo Bacardí Masso.

This is just a short list. There are really thousands of posibilities because Rum mixes so well with just about everything, so grab some mixers and go nuts!!

A long time, 5 years at least unopened or opened provided you keep it cool and out of the sun.

* Mojito - cocktail made from rum, sugar, lime juice, carbonated water and mint.

It is a sweet and refreshing cocktail, with a minty citrus flavour and a strong kick of the rum. * Daiquiri - made by filling a cocktail shaker with ice, rum, lime juice and sugar syrup. It is then shaken well and strained into a chilled cocktail glass.

* In the US they make a drink from rum instead of sugarcane to emulate Caipirinha - Brazil's national cocktail - which is made with cachaça, sugar and lime.

There is never a reason to refrigerate or freeze liquor unless it is your personal preference. A lot of mixers require that they be stored in a cool place after being opened. But your rum does not need to be refrigerated unless you just prefer it that way. You can store liquor in your freezer because it will not freeze.
