GSN Alert: August 16th – National Rum Day

It’s a dark’ n stormy day when the rum runs out! Luckily, there’s plenty to go around on August 16, National Rum Day. The enormous English poet, Lord Byron, spoke of rum’s power declaring,” there’s naught , no doubt, so much the being pacifies as rum and true-blue religion.” Since it comes down on the panorama in the 1600 s, rum has been the revelation for marines’ carols and plagiarists’ systems, appointed booming economies and helped us party, island-style.

In the 17 th century, hard-working slaves on Caribbean sugarcane orchards were the first to discover rum. They saw molasses as a byproduct of leftover sugar that transformed into alcohol after refining and fermenting. Eventually, distilleries caught on — turning rum yield into a major global business. The Royal British Navy, as well as rascals and plagiarists, imbibe rum by the gallon. On National Rum Day, become naval with a “grogg”. This was the home-made drink of the British Royal Navy. Make yours by mingling your favorite rum with beer or liquid. For a slightly sweeter discus, utter your rum pirate-style by mixing rum with sea, carbohydrate, nutmeg, citrus liquor or grenadine to make a drink announced, “Bumbo”.
