I am a rum-lover, cocktail hobbyist, and craft/local spirit enthusiast, and I hope to share what I know and learn even more.
I am not a professional bartender, though in college I did work in a dive bar pouring pitchers of beer and easy mixed drinks. After deciding to cut back on my Coca-Cola consumption, I starting looking into other ways to enjoy my preferred spirit, rum. First by drinking it neat, then by mixing it in other cocktails.
After opening Rum Bar in my backyard work shed, my friends and neighbors started telling me they enjoyed my drinks more than the ones they could get at ârealâ bars. When COVID hit and I was furloughed from my day job, my wife decided I needed something to do. âWhy donât you start a YouTube channel?â she suggested. And Kill-Divill: Rum & Cocktails was born.
