Spiced rum is a popular choice for cocktails and adds a warm and aromatic flavor to drinks. To make homemade spiced rum, you will need dark rum, spices like cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and vanilla beans, and a sweetener like brown sugar or honey. Start by infusing the spices and sweetener in the rum for a few weeks. Shake the jar occasionally to ensure the flavors are well distributed. After the infusion period, strain out the spices and sweetener. The result is a rich and flavorful spiced rum that can be used in classic cocktails like Dark and Stormy or enjoyed on its own over ice.
