Can you imagine Delhi winters without the comfort this old friend offers? Old Monk rum that comes in a distinctive, attractive and funny bottle has been the first choice of a certain section of people across the country. Not all savour the taste alike but for those who do, Old Monk with cola has been ruling their lives for a long time. Reports say its sales is dipping with affordable options aplenty these days. But if you are an Old Monk devotee, make sure you do the following before the brand decides to vanish:

1) Invite your friends for a terrace party to bid adieu to Old Monk

Terrace parties are incomplete without Old Monk, especially in the winters. Take small sips of this drink, talking about those days when it comforted you during the merciless cold or during your break-ups.

Rum with warm water is an excellent solution for terrible common cold. Suggest having a peg of Old Monk with warm water to a friend suffering from cold, see him getting better and say cheers to you for being so cool.

3) Take your girlfriend on an Old Monk date

It is a common belief that rum is a man's drink and women don't enjoy it. If you are one of those lucky chaps who fell in love with a woman devotee of this drink, an Old Monk date would be a nice idea.

4) Say an 'Old Monk' cheers to your father

If you know that your father is an OId Monk fan as well, take this chance and offer him a drink. Over meaningful conversations about life and death (and the bills), say cheers to him for being the coolest father and hope that he considers you cool enough.

5) Let out the creative soul inside you

Sit down with a bottle of Old Monk, have a couple of pegs and put aside all your inhibitions. Let the creative soul inside you take charge. Vent those words that had been struggling to find a pinhole to escape. Before you know it, you would have penned an awesome poem or an interesting blog post.

6) Enjoy solitude with this one friend

It is said that "Those who cannot enjoy their own company can never be happy". Take some time off your busy schedule, turn your phone off and have a one-to-one farewell with your favourite rum.

Sales be damned, don't let this friend die.
