Winter just seems incomplete without a swig of some warm drinks. The strong spirit of rum, balanced with the sweetness of cola, makes for a perfect drink to enjoy the season to the fullest. In fact, during this time of the year, when the festive spirit is at an all-time high, we add some ounces of rum to our food as well. Rum balls, plum cakes and more – we have a number of rum-based recipe options to try. Then, there are the classic rum cocktails like daiquiri, mojito to name a few. While the popularity of these foods and beverages is undeniable, we also found a unique drink that will surely add to the season’s celebration. It’s called spiced rum.
What Is Spiced Rum: Difference Between Rum And Spiced Rum:
Spiced rum is a variety of rum that has been flavoured and aged with herbs and spices. From regular kitchen spices like clove, cinnamon and star anise to exotic vanilla beans – you can include any flavour of your choice. Some people also like adding orange peels, ginger etc for added aroma.
This not only makes the spiced rum flavourful but also brings a difference in texture and colour. While regular rum is transparent or amber in colour, you will find a dark caramel colour texture in spiced rum. Moreover, the added flavours make spiced rum a perfect option to add to your cocktails.
