hurdy Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Left it too late to start any infusions this year, so considering taking rum. Don't fancy dragging a ton of mixer cans around with me though - has anyone got any great rum cocktail recipes, preferably ones that can cope without being refrigerated all day?

Picking this up the day before the festival. It's decent enough to drink straight. https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/306945047 Other than that, get cheap rum and ask for a cold coke with ice and lime from the bars, mix in your own stuff? Cuba Libre? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyJonesy Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 I'm going for the old Disco Juice... Vodka, water and cordial. Enough cordial and it tastes fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger ale / beer is great but gives me heartburn after a while so your mileage may vary. Fruit juices are also a winner Edited June 14, 2023 by BambooShanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4AssedMonkey Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 I've one. You take a shot of Kraken Spiced Rum, and delicately blend it with another short of Kraken Spiced Rum. Then drink it. You're welcome. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeph1995 Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 I'll bring a hip flask round with me on the day and just mix it with what ever I find round the festival. Tropical Juice, Ginger Beer and Coke all excellent options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Not a fan of going to the rum shelf at the supermarket to find like 80% of the choice is sugary spiced rum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyboi Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 I've got naggins of cooking verity brandy, white rum & captain morgans to take. I have an unopened BIG bottle of of Mount Gay Black Barrel the 'rents brought me back from Barbados. I dont want to decant it into plastic and session it. However I'm pretty skint this year so it might end up being scarified for the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike_Like_A_Mum Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Last year I was sick on Rum for the first time ever, only 1 week before the festival. Always been one of my favourites, haven't really touched it since 🫣 silly me, such a shame! Nightmare because I'd stocked up on Rum and crabbies for some brutal dark and stormies as my drink of choice over the weekend. I just couldn't do it, stuck to the rest of my stash and a lot of the Rum came back home and is still sitting in plastic bottles. Probably needs chucking out now...

Last year they had one but not the other. I think maybe just ginger ale. It was a peak time and they tended to have say loads of that, lemonade and coke, but not a broad range.

rockandnoll Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Spiced rum and apple juice for the win. Holds up against the heat and the natural sugar in the apple juice helps stave off the next day hang over....either that or you are having an indulgent toffee apple drink with your brekkie!
