SLY-Shine - a SLY take on the classic Milk Punch We test our alcohol by drinking it, using a step-by-step process to select the very best. First, we try each spiced rum on its own, to assess the quality and flavour profile. We’re looking to see if the distiller’s description matches what we can taste, as well as making notes on any interesting flavours we find that aren’t mentioned on the bottle. Following the solo test, we partner each spiced rum with one of its most reliable mixers to see how it fairs in a long drink. Do any new flavours develop? Is the rum lost to the mixer or does it hold its own?For instance, if you take a gentlemen-favourite Old-Fashioned and substitute bourbon with dark rum, you get an incredibly complex and aromatic drink. On a hotter day, try a more refreshing variation with Rum Moscow Mule. The combination of rum, lime juice, and ginger beer is so fantastic, you would be making seconds before even finishing the first serving. Mix it up with a SLY DOG twist
