BACARDI®
Gold Rum,
how delicioso thou art! A perfect blend
of vanilla and a balance
of walnuts and spices on a subtle background of oak. Ohhhh, how good my house smells when I am baking
my “Butter Rum” cake with your wonderful, golden self!
Here’s our
liquor history lesson for today:
Did you
know we have Bacardi to thank for the world famous “Daiquri” cocktail? Yup, one
of Barcardi’s mining engineers came up with in 1898. Let us raise a glass to Jennings Stockton
Cox!
And the “Mojito”?
It is based on the 16th
century drink known as the “Draque”. It
was introduced by Richard Drake who served under Sir Francis Drake (no
relation). No one is sure where the
name “Mojito” originated. One school of
thought is it comes from the Spanish verb “mojar”, meaning “to wet”, as in
quenching the thirst in the Caribben heat.
I like that one! Whatever the
real story is, Bacardi Gold makes an incredible Butter Rum Cake! Visit them at www.barcardi.com for more info on their
terrific products.
Come see us
at the Hillcrest Farmers Market on Saturday mornings for our fabulous rum and
whiskey cakes. This week’s whole cake
and Baby Bundt flavors are:
Butter Rum
Glazed Key
Lime Rum
Glazed
Orange Rum
Chocolate
Whiskey
Any one of them would be perfect for your
Memorial Day gathering as you honor our country's service men and women. Why bake when we’ve
done it for you??? The address is: 2200 Kavanaugh Blvd., Little
Rock, Arkansas, in front of the Pulaski Heights Baptist Church. See you there!
A safe and
happy holiday weekend to all!
