Today, trying to buy a big bottle of Cruzan rum for our beach trip.

Kinja'd!!!

Me : Do you have an unflavored rums? All I see are the blends.

Clerk (20-something lady): Sure, which one are you looking for?

Me : Specifically Cruzan if you have it. ( NOTE: this is pronounced roughly as CROO-shen , as in “native of St. Croix” — also spelled Crucian )

Her : Which one?

Me : Cruzan?

Her : Oh, you mean KROO-zan . (*looking at me like I’m an idiot*)

Me, immediately transported back to being an elementary school nerd : (sigh) Yes.

I probably should have had fun with it, asking for El Jim-a-door tequila and some Skyyyyyy vodka. You have to trill the Y. It’s a San Francisco thing.

Diplomatico is the official rum of my costuming group. It is delicious, blends easy and tastes even better when chilled.

I also like Zaya.
