Mango Hurricane

Always on the lookout for some new and delectable rum cocktail recipes, we ran across this one last week and decided to give it a try. The recipe was found on the Cruzan Rum website, and as we happened to have a bottle of Cruzan Mango Rum on hand, we put a couple of them together. Delicious! These will be great during the warm, long and lazy days this summer.

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)!

Pumpkin Spiced Rum Cocktail

We loved the taste of the Pumpkin and Spiced Rum Cupcakes so much that we thought we’d explore the taste combination in a cocktail. We tried a few with less then stellar results but after one sip of this one, we knew we had a winner! The rich, creamy, pumkiny taste makes it a perfect desert drink and will certainly put you in the holiday spirit! Happy Thanksgiving!

The Perfect Mojito

What makes a perfect mojito? When you look on the web, there’s more mojito recipes than you can shake a muddler at.  So what is it? The type of rum used? The amount of mint? The setting?

I had my first mojito in an airport. I know – odd place, but it was in the Miami airport on a layover for a flight to the Caribbean. We were in the mood to get the Caribbean party started and walked past a Bacardi kiosk with a very long line of people waiting for the only drink they were fixing…a mojito. We thought with that long of line the tropical concoction must be good, so we pulled up and eagerly waited to give a mojito a try.

We watched as the bartenders meticulously muddled the mint and lime, added simple syrup and the rum, poured it into a tall glass, added a little club soda and garnished with a stick of sugarcane. After shelling out $12.00 for each drink, we grabbed ours and eagerly took our first whiff. Ahhh…so minty and fresh smelling. After one sip, we were hooked and ended up purchasing an additional one or two before heading for our flight.

We’ve tried many recipes for mojitos since that first taste of one in the airport and truthfully, many are really good. But for some reason, the taste of that first mojito is the one that will always be our favorite and reminds us every time of the excitement we feel when heading south for vacation and a little Rum Therapy…

Making Spiced Rum

Spiced rum. It seems to be just one of those things that either you love, or, you don’t. The subtle varieties of tastes found in different spiced rums are a result of the types and amount of spices added – and there are some spiced rums I’ve tried that have a combinations of spices that just weren’t that pleasing to my palate. I recently ran across directions for making your own spiced rum and initially was interested in finding out what spices are used, but then became intrigued in creating my own variety of spiced rum – a perfect version, of course for my tastes at least! I went shopping today for a few of the following spices and am going to start creating my own version this weekend. Let me know if you come up your own personalized spiced rum and what your secret ingredient is!
