The Old Monk Effect


Whats with the title you may ask - nothing it just sounds so cool with a lot of awesomeness (sorry the awesomeness was from Kungfu Panda that I watched a few weeks ago). Recently my brother got me a bottle of Old Monk, actually 2, from Atlanta. I live in Utah so I hope you understand the irony there. At the same time it brought back memories of college days where the old monk rum was one of our favorites. Sure now we have moved on to the Bacardis and the Captain Morgans but Old Monk still has a special place. We had it at new years with Thums Up which is its preferred natural mixer. I was surprised in the first place that he could find it here in the US. Below are a few other cocktails that I have tried out with Old Monk:


Old Monk Martini:
This sure tasted better than the vodka martini that I usually make.

Old Monk Mojito
I used a regular mojito mix to make this. All I can say is - DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!

Old Monk Black Margarita
Sure the color of the margarita was far from the conventional, but this was awesome.

Old Monk Fresh Lime Soda
A dash of the rum on the plain fresh lime soda turned out to be a refreshing drink just like its non-alcoholic counterpart.

Old Monk LIIT
This is your regular long island with old monk instead of any other rum. More sweeter than the regular long island.

  2. I think it is available in most of the liquor stores there. My brother got it from Alpharetta I think.
