Pretty much the only way I make them now. I'm not ruling out the possibility of a version I'd like better but it's the best I've tried with rums I can get where I live.

Yes, that's just the lighting in my home bar, nothing fancy. Reds and blues mainly. I try for a realistic look. However, I do get better shots when I turn on the overhead lighting just across the room in the kitchen area. It it's far enough away to illuminate the bar just enough to get a clear picture but not too much to spoil the ambience. If your bar is too dark to get a good shot without a flash, you may want to play around with some distant lighting.

Nice! I still have one left from '09. I bought a case, almost. The salesman just about cried because he didn't know it was there. I said "make it 23." He was happy again.
