Spiced Rum Recipes
Last year for the holidays, I made some homemade Irish cream for some
friends, and I'd like to do something similar this year A friend of mine is doing a project that requires empty Captain Morgans bottles, and as a result, she gave me 10 liters of rum. Neither my wife or I really like egg nog, but can anyone suggest other drink recipes that use spiced rum and that can be stored for a few weeks? We're in Southern California, so they don't have to be the warm, hang out by the fire drinks. Tropical drinks are great as well! Thanks, Red Hook |

Mix it with just about any fruit juice. Orange, pineapple, and rum trimmed with fresh fruit and a few of those red-dye-#2 Maraschino cherries always reminds me of lazy days on Caribbean beaches. Or mix it with pineapple juice and coconut cream. Experiment with passionfruit, guava, even pomegranate juice. What've you got to lose? Have fun! Peg |

Paul Knorr (maker of Barback software, which I assume is still at www.barback.com) wrote me once with the following: From Paul Knorr: A few days ago, I posted a question in rec.food.drink regarding Spiced Rum, asking how it was made. Jennifer Harris answered, saying that it was basically just rum with vanilla extract. So I set out to test this, and I think that I now have a good recipe for spiced rum (much cheaper than buying it). * 2 cups light (white) rum (I use Bacardi Light®) * 2 tsp pure vanilla extract * 1/2 cup sugar syrup (Meilach's 2:1 ratio) Place in bottle and shake. Requires no aging although it may need to settle after shaking. So there you have it. Experiment a little, and you should have a flavor you like as well. Gunther Anderson |
