Now for a moment to speak to my favorite spirit…. drum roll ….. RUM<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rum is distilled from cane juice, the scummings of the boiled juice, treacle or molasses, or even from the lees of former distillations. Rum has a sweet taste and can be clear or amber to dark brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The taste of rum usually reveals the clear flavor of the sugar or molasses used in its production. Light or dark, count rum as a sweet when considering its use in your drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rum is not neutral by any means. You will always taste it in the drink although when mixed with sweet mixers or fruit it does drop more into the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next time we’ll examine an old west staple, whiskey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until then may all your drinks be tasty. Cheers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
