Best story from behind the wood | When I was working at Rhum Corner I had a 75 year old man who came in, requested a vodka martini, however he didn’t realize we only served Rum. He told me he hadn’t had rum since he was 14 because he had a terrible experience with it. I told him I’d change his mind, and got him a classic daiquiri. He ended up crushing 7 of them that night, and said it was life changing.
