When you find a quiet moment to yourself during these monsoon days, what better way to spend it than stay warm in bed with a book or a movie, and sip on a warm beverage with a dash of rum?
A spiced rum drink combined with the richness from butter, for a luxurious mouthfeel, this beverage is perfect when you want to let your hair down with a drink that also soothes the throat.
Typically made with bourbon, this hot toddy drink uses lemon, honey and rum to combine in the best way possible, for a drink that tastes almost medicinal.
Make yourself a mug of hot chocolate like you normally would and add a couple of tablespoons of rum, before topping off with marshmallows and enjoying while looking at the rain outside.
With the delicious richness from the egg yolk and heavy cream, along with the whisper of spices and a dash of rum, this warm eggnog can be made in a large batch.
Since the flavour combinations of coconut and rum are a match made in heaven, combine the forces of their lip-smacking tastes into a frothy latte to have in place of your cup of coffee in the evenings.
Replace the wine with a bottle of good quality dark rum and use seasonal fruit like pears or cherries for an added flavour boost while you slowly simmer the rum, until it is fragrant and glossy.
