Cruzan OJ Dreamsicle

Are you ready for a taste of summertime? We are! We first tasted this yummy Cruzan concoction at the conclusion of our first tour of the Cruzan Rum Factory in St. Croix.

You see, at the end of the tour, you get to sample several rums or rum drinks and this is one of the ones we tried. Tasted JUST like the Creamsicle’s that we used to enjoy all summer long – with a bit of a kick!

So, if you’re ready for summertime – or at least a taste of it, grab your Cruzan Flavored Rums, put on your sunglasses and enjoy!

VooDoo Juice

We’re headed to St. Thomas soon and planning a short stay at Bolongo Bay. One of the drinks listed on the menu at their beach bar, Iggie’s, is VooDoo Juice, which is described as lots of Cruzan rums, a little juice & a bucket to drink it in! Intrigued, we looked up some recipes for VooDoo Juice and found that this concoction truly is a LOT of rum and a little juice! The recipe below can be used for one tall (and VERY strong) drink or two shorter drinks.

We’ll give VooDoo Juice a try at Bolongo Bay too and let you know how they compare – bucket and all. Pretty sure it’ll taste even better just because we’ll be sitting on a beautiful beach in the warm Caribbean sunshine…

Instructions

  • Pour all ingredients in a tall glass over ice. Stir slightly. (We added just a splash of cherry juice for color.)

Frosty Long Island Iced Tea

This recipe is a re-mix of the regular Long Island Iced Tea with rum, of course. At 2.5 oz of liquor and liqueur (triple sec), it’s potent, though oddly enough, it doesn’t taste really “boozy”. So – be careful and drink responsibly! It’s cool and refreshing on a hot summer day and a glass can go down very easily… (Jump to Recipe)

Hot Rum & Chocolate Coffee

Today is the first day of Fall. Not sure how I feel about that. I love changing seasons and colorful leaves and all, but I’m not ready to put away the bathing suits and frozen drinks just yet! Sigh… Anyway, guess it’s time to start thinking about fall flavors. We won’t start the pumpkin stuff just yet, but how about a warm cup of coffee with rum, cinnamon and nutmeg? Mmmm. Still not happy about summer being over, but I must admit, cup of Hot Rum & Chocolate Coffee sounds  pretty good right now!

Hot Rum & Chocolate Coffee

  • In a saucepan over low heat, stir together the hot coffee, whole milk and sugar until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is nice and warm. 
  • Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and rum and stir again until warm. 
  • Pour into a mug and top with grated chocolate (and whipped cream, if you wish!)

Rum ‘N Eggnog Shooter

It’s called a shooter because of the size of glass it’s served in, but we’d recommend sipping this holiday treat! More like a desert than a drink, it’s looks will impress your guests too! Get the nice layered effect by pouring each layer slowly over the back of a spoon. Use a nice rum for this one for a tasty full bodied mix with the eggnog and Kahlúa.

Candy Cane Infused Rum

Last spring we infused our first batch of Strawberry Rum and loved it, so as the holidays rolled around, we began thinking of infusing rum with a holiday taste, such as Candy Cane.  We tried it out and found it’s easy to put together and if you divided it into small 8 oz. mason jars with lids, would make great little gifts for your rum drinking friends. Just add a ribbon with a candy cane and maybe a recipe and voilà!

Talk about getting into the holiday spirit(s)!

Hot Buttered Rum Apple Pie

A delicious rendition of apple pie, just in time for the holidays!
Course: Dessert
Servings: 1 pie

Ingredients

Hot Buttered Rum Sauce

Pie Filling Ingredients

Instructions

Hot Buttered Rum Sauce

  • Combine the brown sugar, rum and butter and heating over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  • Bring to a boil and then remove from heat. Put aside.

Pie Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
  • Combine the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour in a large bowl until the apples are coated.
  • Pour the apple mixture into the bottom crust. Drizzle half of the Hot Buttered Rum Sauce over the apples.
  • Cover the pie with the other crust and squeeze the bottom and top edges of the pie together. Using a knife, cut 6-8 slits in the top crust.
  • Sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon on the top crust.
  • Place the pie on a cookie sheet and bake for about 45 minutes until the crust is golden brown. We didn't need to cover the pie, but be sure to keep your eye on it during the last 15 minutes of baking to make sure the crust is not getting too brown. If needed, place a sheet of aluminum foil lightly on the top during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning
  • Allow the pie to cool for a while, then cut, serve with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream and drizzle with some of the remaining Hot Buttered Rum Sauce. YUM!

Rum & Pumpkin Spice Latte

Gotta love the flavors of fall – especially pumpkin. About this time of year we look forward to spending a few bucks on a warm Pumpkin Spice Latte at our local coffee shop and so we were quite interested in a recipe we found for a homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte.

We put a nice warm cup of it together with a few modifications and then for fun (and because it was a Saturday!), added an ounce of gold rum to the mix. Takes a little more work than the drive-thru window, but it also uses real pumpkin instead of a syrup, tastes pretty darn good and costs a LOT less – so we can enjoy more of them!

This looks (and tastes) great with a healthy dollop of whipped cream on the top. Be sure to play with and adjust the strength of the coffee, and the amount of milk, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and brown sugar to find just the perfect taste for you!
