Palate
Upon tasting, the initial sweetness and warmth of the vanilla and caramel unfold on the palate. Layers of spice emerge, including cinnamon, nutmeg, and a gentle warmth from cloves or ginger. The texture is smooth and warming, with a satisfying richness.
Finish
The finish is long and comforting, leaving a lingering warmth on the palate. The sweet, spiced notes of vanilla, clove and cinnamon persist, fading to a final hint of pepper and warm spice.
You can enjoy Cu Mara spiced rum in a variety of ways, ranging from simple mixed drinks to more elaborate cocktails.
Classic mixes
- With Cola: This is a classic and reliable pairing that highlights our rum's warm, vanilla, and caramel notes. Top a glass of ice with your Cu Mara spiced rum, then add cola and garnish with a lime wedge to cut through the sweetness.
- With Ginger Beer: For a drink with a spicier kick, use ginger beer, which amplifies our rum's warmth and spice. Serve it with plenty of ice and a squeeze of fresh lime for a "Caribbean Mule".
- With Apple Juice: This combination creates a comforting, autumnal drink. Mix Cu Mara spiced rum with apple juice over ice, adding an optional sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of bitters.
- With Lemon-Lime Soda: For a simple and refreshing drink, combine our spiced rum with a lemon-lime soda like Sprite.
Seasonal and warm drinks
Our spiced rum is particularly suited for cozy, seasonal beverages due to its warming spice profile.
- Hot Buttered Rum: This classic winter warmer combines our spiced rum with a pre-made spiced butter batter and hot water. The butter and baking spices of cinnamon and nutmeg, create a rich and comforting drink.
- Hot Rum Cider: For an easy cold-weather cocktail, mix our spiced rum with warm apple cider. Add a cinnamon stick for garnish and an extra layer of spice.
Cocktails
Our Spiced rum can be used as the base for many cocktails to add a unique complexity.
- Spiced Rum Old Fashioned: This twist on a classic replaces whiskey with our spiced rum. Muddle a sugar cube with bitters, then add our spiced rum and stir well with ice. Garnish with an orange twist.
- Spiced Mojito: A mojito made with our spiced rum adds a warm, spiced layer to the traditional mint and lime flavors.
- Spiced Rum Punch: Why not create a punch with our spiced rum, tropical fruit juices like orange and pineapple, and a touch of grenadine or other syrup.
