Rum
If whiskey sold the study and gin sold the cocktail hour, rum sold escape—sunshine, palm trees, and the Caribbean fantasy in a glass. The great names built that world in print: Bacardi, whose daiquiris and Cuba Libres promised island glamour; Jamaican Myers's; and Captain Morgan, the spiced rum named for a real-life privateer. There's genuine history in these pages too—Bacardi's classic ads trace a brand that lost everything in Cuba in 1960 and rebuilt from the islands outward. The rum ads leaned into cocktail culture and tiki-era exotica, all bright color and tropical promise—each an authentic vintage print that brings a little sunshine to any bar wall.
