bambu white rum

Sure, on any normal day, $35 for a bottle of rum may sound like a lot compared to what you would pay for say...generic "RUM" at the market, but $35 for Bambu White Rum is a steal compared to what your water and power bill will be after running your air conditioning for 30 days straight on full-blast.

Bambu is a triple-distilled product launched in the US last year. It is made to taste like traditional rum, yet for how white and light it is, it is more like vodka. To stay cool on this Monday's Happy Hour, muddle a couple of limes that that have been cut into wedges, a few mint leaves and a teaspoon of granulated sugar. Add ice, 2 oz. of Bambu Rum, and top the whole thing off with soda to make it sparkle.

$35 a bottle split over how many cocktails to keep you cool? Much cheaper than A/C.

Sounds cool, Sarah. I saw some at the shop where I buy my Chimay ale. It was only $24.00. There are very few advantages to living in West Texas but occasional lower prices make me smile. I will try your drink recipe ... next payday. After I pay my exorbitant electric bill. Seems there's this thing about running the heck out of hte air conditioner during constant triple digit temperatures.
