When you think of great rum, you don’t usually think of Curacao. The most popular Happy Hour libation from this Dutch Caribbean paradise bears the island’s name and is as blue as the welcoming waters that surround it. Clearly Kilo Kai is something altogether different, and not just because of its bad ass bottle and logo.
One of the few things you might enjoy drinking that bears a skull and crossbones on the label, Kilo Kai is a spiced rum with a HEAVY emphasis on spices. The Kilo Kai website says that vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon are in the mix. The bottle says there’s caramel too, while other reviewers have detected banana, cherry and the same citrus peel that goes into making Curacao liqueur.
March is here. The steady spate of blizzards that buried much of the U.S. to start the year have subsided a bit. Maybe you’ve even heard a whisper or two around the water cooler about this thing called spring – a magical time with sunny skies, warm weather and outdoor fun. You’ve made it this far, right? Why escape to the Caribbean now?
Reason #1: see photo above.
Reason #2: the incredible deal available right now to the place in the picture.
The place, of course, is Curacao. The deal is called Curacao Now!
As its name implies, the Curacao Now!
Controversy. It’s not a word you’d normally associate with Christmas, right? That goes double for the Caribbean, where about the only Christmas controversy I could imagine would be a lack of rum at a Holiday Fete. At least that’s the only Christmas controversy I could’ve imagined prior to finding myself in Curacao a couple Decembers ago. Oh, they have plenty of controversy at Christmas time there, and everywhere else in the Netherlands for that matter… and it all revolves around one of Holland’s most enduring symbols of the Season.
Like the rest of the Netherlands, the lucky people of Curacao get to enjoy two December gift-giving periods – the December 25th visit from Santa Claus that we in the U.S.
