Of all the made-up holidays our nation celebrates, there’s one to rule them all. August 16 is National Rum Day!<\/p>\n
Given this Las Vegas blog’s love of rum, we would be remiss if we didn’t provide the ultimate list of our favorite rum-based cocktails in honor of this most hallowed of days.<\/p>\n
Here, then, are some of our favorite rum cocktails served at bars in downtown Las Vegas. Collect all five!<\/p>\n
1. Captain and Diet at Therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n
The cocktail menu at downtown’s Therapy is replete with temptations, but we’re partial to this knock-out drink, the classic Captain Morgan spiced rum and diet. Simple, effective, perfect.<\/p>\nOur bartender hinted a new cocktail menu will soon be unveiled at Therapy. We’d try those new cocktails, too. Probably.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
2. Captain and Diet at Binion’s<\/strong><\/p>\n
With one of the most generous pours on Fremont Street, Binion’s is a classic name and one of the best places to get this classic cocktail, the Captain and diet.<\/p>\nThe standard pour at Binion’s is two shots, but even when you order one you get two. It’s the Binion’s way.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
3. Captain and Diet at Pizza Rock<\/strong><\/p>\n
It’s the perfect pairing to Pizza Rock’s world-class pizza, the Captain Morgan and diet Coke. Prepared by friendly bartenders, this exceptional concoction is the perfect party fuel for a Las Vegas adventure.<\/p>\nPizza Rock is the Captain Morgan of restaurants.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
<\/p>\n
4. Captain and Diet at The D<\/strong><\/p>\n
While we frequent a number of downtown bars, Longbar at The D is far-and-away the winner, at a 20-to-1 margin. This perfectly prepared Captain and diet has body, brightness and a spectacular finish.<\/p>\nThe go-go dancers at The D are fine, but this sexy thing is the real draw.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
5. Captain and Diet at Nacho Daddy<\/strong><\/p>\n
Nacho Daddy is a favorite haunt of Las Vegas visitors and locals alike, just half-a-block north of Fremont Street. While tourists opt for the establishment’s scorpion shot, we prefer the reliably delicious Captain and diet. While Nacho Daddy’s pulchritudinous bartenders are secretive about the drink’s exact recipe, we have it on good authority it contains both Captain Morgan and diet Coke. Exclusive!<\/p>\nShout-out to straws, the unsung heroes of many of our most beloved Captain Morgan and diets.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
