The History of Rum
No doubt it can make you crave for it so much. Sweet makers find ways to find the perfect pecan pralines that will suite to the taste of your tongue. In this case, if you are a rum lover it would be funnyto say that it is okay already not to drink rum for the whole year because you can always have rum pralines and get drank of it. Get a lot of boxes of it and you will feel it like you are in sweets haven. A frozen daquiri is another popular drink that you can create with your blender. The daquiri is essentially a cocktail composed mainly of rum, lime juice and sweeteners such as sugar. To make this refreshing summer drink, you blend in 3/4 cup of rum, 1/4 cup of lime juice, 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar or honey, and a cup of ice into a blender. Give the blender a quick run to mix in the ingredients. Pour the resulting mixture into four glasses that you can also top off with a swirl of whip cream garnished with a fresh strawberry. Strawberry Daiquiri Recipe: If you love simple and sweet cocktails, then you will love the strawberry daiquiri. You can serve it depending on your choice, either blended or on the rocks. If you love variations, then you can replace the strawberries with any fruits you like. To make it, you will need a blender in which you will combine one ounce of fresh strawberries, one tablespoon of confectionery sugar, one oz of lime juice, one ounce of light rum and half an oz of strawberry schnapps. You can choose to put this mixture in a cocktail glass, garnish it with whipped cream and\or fresh strawberries or serve it as is in an oversized Martini glass. Enjoy! Last week, we started this series with a look at must-have gin and vodka for building your home bar. In this installment, we move on to another staple: rum. This libation is made from fermented and distilled sugar cane juice, or more commonly, molasses. Though most often associated with South America and the Caribbean, rumis made around the world and can exhibit wildly different characteristics from distillery to distillery. This variety makes this a particularly fun category to experiment with, but there are some essentials that you'll want to look at to start. Later came the first sugar mill which further facilitated cane distillation. The word rum was far from the mouths of men as this substance was known as brebaje. It was not until later that english men who sailed the seas came up with that name.
Top 5 Alcoholic Drinks You Should Enjoy This Christmas
In the old days in Louisiana, especially in that section settled by the British, Irish, and Scottish pioneers, the tipple in high favor was called "grog." It was made of the locally distilled or rum, and was dispensed by the British plantation owners of the Feliciana district as a cheap yet potent beverage to slaves who worked the cotton fields. Possibly the most traditional of all Christmas drinks is mulled wine, know in Germany and around the world as Gluhwein, this is a warm infusion of red wine, lemons, cloves, cinnamon and sugar. This traditional Christmas drink has a whole host of modifications, not only in the different regions of Germany but around the European continent. To the basic ingredients can be added rum, brandy, Calvados even, I have heard, vodka which would add a kick, but not much taste. Another popular ingredient is the orange, either as slices or zest but I think you could add any citrus fruit that you prefer. Please do not forget to wash thoroughly and. if possible, get the unwaxed variety of fruits. Another variation worth considering is the addition of juices, orange or apple are best or some people add fruiy cordials, elder flower is quite refreshing, or even herbal teas. Any of these will make a different and interesting drink for Christmas that, if you remember to make a note of how you have made it, could become your signature Christmas drink that everybody looks forward to. As far as the consumer trend of rum goes, white rum definitely sells more, due to the inclination of the youth towards clear spirits. Dark rum is more enjoyed by the elderly and the armed forces around the world. There is another reason why dark rum is enjoyed by above people, for it provides great amount of calories and also helps keep warm. Captain Morgan is the leading dark rum brand in the United States. More than any other alcoholic drink, rum was associated with pirates (yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, anyone?). This initially started when English privateers began trading it. As some of these men eventually became pirates (aim high, kids), they carried with them their liking of rum. Pieces of literature that coupled rumand piracy perpetuated this notion. The earliest recorded distillation of rum occurred in the Caribbean when slaves working on plantations worked out that a by product of sugar, known as molasses, could be made into a form of alcohol. This alcohol, however, was not well received, at least not at first. The early history of rum was not a raging success story and the spirit was thought at first to be a quite vile tasting liquor.
George’S Rants and Raves: Brugal AñEjo Rum
This is a pretty good drink, but is way to sweet for me to drink to many of them at a time. They certainly do pack a high calorie count, so maybe not drinking to many of them is a good idea. Common Recipe: There are a lot of changes and substitutions made to this recipe, including using coconut milk. So with many different varieties to this recipe, I will give you one. Mix 2 oz of light rum with 2 oz of pineapple juice, 1 oz of cream of coconut, ½ a banana, and about ½ a cup of ice. Grind all of that together in a blender. Pour into a glass and enjoy. Moving from Cuba to Spain in about 1843, Masso is credited with refining the techniques for rum production. He improved distillation, filtering, and aging in casks made of American oak. The end result was rum which was much lighter and smoother, a spirit that today we have come to love, to drink, and one which comes in many forms from dark to light, from white to spiced and which is the drink of choice for millions the world over. Finally, a rich and flavorful dark rum is a requirement for the well-prepared cocktailian. Lending a mouthwatering vanilla, caramel, and spice character to your drinks, these spirits are aged in heavily charred barrels for a more assertive profile. Though many of these are delicious on their own, they're also a must for a Dark and Stormy. Two mouthwatering options are Cruzan Black Strap Rum and Gosling's "Black Seal" Rum. Recipe: 1. Fill a tall glass with crushed ice 2. Pour in rum in the glass 3. Add lime juice and grenadine to it 4. Put some 7-Up or sprite in it 5. And stir well Not commonly available in supermarkets outside of Australia, you may have to dig a little deeper to unearth this truly delicious rum. Available in three main varieties, I wholeheartedly recommend Bundaberg Silver, which offers a much smoother flavour in comparison to the typical blend on offer in bars. Definitely an acquired taste, once you have had a few glasses of this rich, earthy rum you will have discovered a favourite. Best served in a glass filled to the brim with ice, on top of which you add coke for a lovely golden syrup flavour.
