Clink: Rubi Rey Rum

By Aurora Rodriguez

That Caribbean vacation may still be a couple months away, but start practicing island loafing early with a Rubi Rey Rum drink. The original single barrel-finished white rum from northern Puerto Rico is smooth enough to have on the rocks, but adventurous enough to mix into cocktails. And who doesn't like to feel like they're sipping something delicious under the sun?

D.I.Y.

Drunken Coconut Key Lime Martini

Muddle 3 key limes into the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Fill shaker with ice. Add 2.5 ounces of Rubi Rey Rum, 1 ounce of Coco Lopez, 2 ounces of pineapple juice and 3 drops of vanilla extract. Shake and pour into a martini glass; garnish with coconut shavings.

Just tried Rubi Rey rum for the first time and it's the best rum I've ever had. Incredibly smooth and goes down easy. No hangover either. You can even sip it slow on the rocks.Nice & classy.... Read more
