Mount Gay ( snicker) with soda.

0073 · April 2012

Hi everyone!

Now that the topic of alcohol is current thanks to Heineken, I'd like to ask something: Is there a definitive source for the opinion that in that scene Bond really has his rum with cola (acording to the JB Lifestyle anyways)?

I was having rum with gingerbeer last weekend and it has that same cloudy dark appearance as rum and cola. And furthermore; The Dark and Stormy would be appropriate in the Bahamas. Also while drinking dark rum with just club soda is doable, DaS is much more better tasting drink!

Thanks... {[]

Been drinking DAS for years.

I've heard this before. But I've never heard him order a rum and coke, let alone a specific brand. I'll have to check again sometime.

Looks like Rum and Club Soda to me. I think it would look darker if he mixed the Mount Gay Rum with Cola.

Or bacardi ( white rum) and coke... That was the drink to have when I was in the Bahamas .

I have to agree that it's prob more rum and soda, than rum and coke. Rum and coke is such a sweet drink - and as we know, he like vodka martini's, I would imagine he would prefer a less sweeter tasting drink...

Although any bar tender worth his salt would ask the drinker his rum of choice....I'm going to have to check now and see what is said!!!

I disagree, I mixed Mount Gay Rum with club soda myself and it had more the appearance of a Seven Seven. The darker concoction seen on screen could be attributed to a higher concentration of rum and lower concentration of cola as often mixed in highball cocktails at bars.
