Questions about Rum
What is rum made from?
Rum is distilled from fermented sugar-cane products, usually molasses or fresh sugar-cane juice. It may be bottled unaged or matured in wooden casks.
What is the difference between white and dark rum?
White rum is usually unaged or briefly matured and then filtered, so it has a cleaner taste for cocktails. Dark rum often gets its colour and richer notes from longer cask ageing, though some rums are coloured after ageing.
Which cocktails can you make with rum?
White rum is a classic choice for a daiquiri, mojito or piña colada; aged or dark rum works well in a Mai Tai or a Dark ’n’ Stormy. For a daiquiri, shake rum with lime juice and sugar syrup over ice, then strain.
Can you use rum in cooking and baking?
Yes: rum adds flavour to fruit cake, rum baba and sauces for desserts such as bananas Foster. For a cake, soak dried fruit in rum before baking; add a small splash to a sauce near the end so its aroma remains.
What can you use instead of rum in a recipe?
For a non-alcoholic substitute in baking, use apple juice or orange juice, adding a little vanilla or almond extract if the rum’s aroma matters. In a cocktail, use a non-alcoholic rum alternative or make a lime-and-sugar drink without spirits.
How should you store rum after opening?
Keep the bottle tightly closed, upright and out of direct sunlight, in a cool cupboard. Rum does not need refrigeration; a nearly empty bottle loses aroma faster because more air remains inside.
Can you flambé with rum?
You can, but warm the rum gently in a separate pan and pour it into the dish before lighting it; never pour from the bottle near a flame. Keep a lid nearby to smother the flame, and do not carry a flaming pan.
