1 3 types of dark rum

There are three types of dark rum. The first is aged double distilled alcohol, expensive and tasty. The second is obtained as a result of a single distillation, due to which much of the molasses is retained in it - the taste, aroma and consistency of such a drink are very rich. This is cheap low level alcohol.

The third option is spiced, which is made from it by adding spices and non-prohibited flavorings (caramel, chocolate, coffee). This alcohol is produced for culinary purposes; few people will be interested in it as alcohol. Dark rum is an ideal drink for making cocktails. It is important for cocktail lovers to make sure that their glass contains dark rum aged for at least three years!

2 Long Island Iced Tea – a popular long drink

Long Island Ice Tea is one of the most famous long drinks in the world. It appeared during Prohibition in the USA. Since its main goal was to provide a tasty and cheap drink to strong Americans, it included three spirits with an alcohol content of more than 35%.

In addition to dark rum, the cocktail contains gin, vodka, Cointreau liqueur and a non-alcoholic base.

1. A highball glass is filled 2/3 full with large ice cubes.
2. Pour 20 ml of gin, vodka, rum and liqueur onto ice, squeeze out the juice of a quarter of an orange and a lime. Mix the ingredients with a cocktail spoon.
3. The remaining volume is topped up with Coca-Cola and decorated with fruit.

The cocktail is appropriate at parties, after work, on the beach and at home. To prepare it, you don’t need to be a professional bartender, but you definitely need good alcohol.

3 Punch - tasty, fast and economical

Dark rum has always been an indispensable ingredient for hot mixes. It all started with savings in the British Army. Each ship of the English fleet was supplied with a certain supply of rum. But there was little alcohol, and strong alcohol warms you in cold weather in a deceptive way. To get out of the situation, the cooks began to prepare grog - a mixture of hot water, sugar, rum, and sometimes tea.

Over time, the drink has transformed, and today we have a huge number of punch recipes.

• Citrus punch. Squeeze the juice from two lemons and two oranges. Mix citrus juice with dry white wine (750 ml) in an enamel bowl and heat over low heat. When the mixture is warm, add 250 grams of sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves. After this, the punch needs to brew a little. Then it is heated again to 70 ° C and 0.5 liters of dark rum is added. If the punch turns out to be strong for you, you just need to add purified water. The drink can be served warm, or cooled by adding ice.
• Coffee punch. First you need to brew a liter of strong coffee. It is better to use ground coffee rather than instant coffee. Pour 300 grams of sugar into an enamel bowl and pour cognac thoroughly over it, set it on fire and let it caramelize. After this, add 0.5 liters of rum, whatever is left of 0.5 liters of cognac, and hot coffee. All that remains is to stir thoroughly and you can serve.
• Egg punch. In 0.5 liters of water you need to brew strong black tea (6 teaspoons of tea minimum). Beat sugar and 2 egg yolks until smooth. Strain the tea from the tea leaves and mix with the egg foam until it is completely dissolved, add 200 ml of dark rum and nutmeg to taste.

There are a lot of punch options, and all of them can decorate a quiet evening at home or a noisy friendly get-together. The main thing to remember is that warm alcohol, even in small quantities, leads to rapid intoxication.

4 Shots - Audience Award Winners
