PORTFOLIO TASTINGS MOUNT GAY RUM Summer-Jane Bell rings "The Devil's Number" with a cocktail based on Mount Gay Rum, a spicy bite of ginger from Art in the Age Snap and salty tamarind and house-made tiki bitters. Remy Cointreau USA BOURBON Woodford Reserve inspired Priscilla Young's classic rendition of the Old Fashioned, the "Oriental Old Timer," with Martini Rosso Vermouth, sea salt and citrus zest garnished with a rhubarb knot. Priscilla is shown here with Chef Zeth Huckabay. WOODFORD RESERVE Brown-Forman BACARDI SOLERA RUM Manny Hinojosa's horchata-like "La Galarza," named after a distillery in Mexico, uses house-made orgeat, tropical guanabana fruit and Bacardi Solera for a creamy refresher. Bacardi USA APPLETON V/X RUM Appleton was the original Mai Tai rum at Trader Vic's, and Marco Dionysos amplified its layers of spice with chai syrup and fresh cinnamon in his "Mai Tai Chai."
