Spiced rum is awesome ! I would encourage anyone to make a custom spiced rum. Take a liter of good quality white rum and pour it in a jar. This is my personal favorite that I have tuned through trial and error. Put a charred Burbon barrel stave or a few chunks in the jar first for 1 to 2 weeks until it gets some notes and a little amber color on it. Remove the oak and add : 1tsp pure vanilla A chunk of fresh ginger 2 orange peel strips (no white) 3 allspice berries 1 clove 1/8tsp ground black pepper 1/8tsp Cardimum 1/2 cinnamon stick 1/8tsp nutmeg 2 tsp molasses Let it sit for 5-10 days, taste after 5 and strain it out when you like the spice level. Then let it sit until the haze drops to the bottom and siphon off. It's awesome !!
Thanks Steve , I love rum and it’s great to have an experts opinion on it. Can’t wait for spiced rums to explode on UK market and put Gin on a level playing field 👍
I absolutely love the Captain Morgan spiced gold . I know that amongst hard core drinkers , It’s labelled as inferior . But I know what I enjoy drinking… I love the sweet taste of that stuff . Enjoy your channel mate 👍✌🏻🥃
And do you know what, that’s ALL that matters. I know I gave it a little bit of a bashing, but that’s only because there’s sooooo many awesome “Spiced Rums” out there now. But as I think I said in the video...this will always be close to my heart cos it’s the drink that I first fell in love with and opened my eyes to a world beyond Beer...which every single one of my mates drank, but I never liked at 18-25yo!! Thanks for the love. Happy NY 👍
What happened to S chweppes dark rum mixers, stopped production and could only get the remnant stock on line - very disappointed not in production any more!!
Hey Heather, yeah you and me both! In typically Schweppes fashion, they have a great product, years ahead of it's time, then decide not to market it! So becasue it didn't sell, they stopped making in 2019. HOWEVER, now that Spiced Rums, Whiskies, Brandies are coming, now would've been the perfect time to launch it. Thats the problem with these big companies, they do have cracking ideas, they just fail miserably on execution! They focus on Coke and Tonic and thats it!
So confused... i thought i replied to you my friend. But YT telling me i haven't!! Apologies. Anyway... Favvy Rum and Coke. I have to say, at this precise moment, I think Rockstar's Two Swallows Candied Citrus and Salted Caramel wins by a mile. it's delicious. But you also won't go wrong with Rumbullion, Chairman's Reserve, RedLeg...or actually DMF. AND... i'll add this in too... but Lidl's Liberte (their Kraken Rum)... for £16... that is a BARGAIN!!!!
@@StevetheBarmanUK Thankyou so much for your reply Steve! I am definitely going to try your suggested rums 👍 and subscribe to your channel. Thanks again!
Yup. That it is. Easily in my Top 3. Can never decide whether it’s no2 or no3 though. Chairmans Reserve Spiced Deffo no1. But I love Rumbullion too (and the Navy Strength). Cheers 👍
Not all of it is...and you’ll never really know what Rum most brands use. But purely for Quickness and Cheapness...you can pretty much guarantee that most cheaper Spiced Rum Brands are unaged Rums. Or Aged for 1-2 years max.
@@ashcartwright9464 Ah. Nah, thanks...but nah, it'd detract from the main Spiced Rum in the Video. The whole point of the Videos is 'How to Drink it' and to provide inspiration...that comes from the mixers. Besides...i'd run out of room on the shelves pretty quickly.

Spiced rum is awesome ! I would encourage anyone to make a custom spiced rum.
Take a liter of good quality white rum and pour it in a jar.
This is my personal favorite that I have tuned through trial and error.
Put a charred Burbon barrel stave or a few chunks in the jar first for 1 to 2 weeks until it gets some notes and a little amber color on it. Remove the oak and add :
1tsp pure vanilla
A chunk of fresh ginger
2 orange peel strips (no white)
3 allspice berries
1 clove
1/8tsp ground black pepper
1/8tsp Cardimum
1/2 cinnamon stick
1/8tsp nutmeg
2 tsp molasses
Let it sit for 5-10 days, taste after 5 and strain it out when you like the spice level.
Then let it sit until the haze drops to the bottom and siphon off.
It's awesome !!
I don't care what people say, as much as I like rum, spiced rum is still pretty solid.
Spiced rum is awesome!!! 👏👏
Thanks Steve , I love rum and it’s great to have an experts opinion on it. Can’t wait for spiced rums to explode on UK market and put Gin on a level playing field 👍
Thank you Anthony! I can't wait either. As we say, (Spiced) Rum = Fun!!! 😂

What's the best spiced rum with coke in your opinion?
Mark's and spencer do an amazing spiced rum from Trinidad and Guyana.. I really recommend it 👍

Does spiced rum mix with cherry pepsi?
Yeah, Yeah...and YEAHH!!!
2 swollows caramel and citrus is amazing
Yup. That it is. Easily in my Top 3. Can never decide whether it’s no2 or no3 though. Chairmans Reserve Spiced Deffo no1. But I love Rumbullion too (and the Navy Strength). Cheers 👍
Spiced rum and squirt (the soda) is great!! It taste like an orange creamsicle. Enjoy!!
haha, there's a few of you dropping Squirt now! I need to get to the US to try some!!
The Kraken Spiced Rum!
Can I use for dessert?
Yeah. Why not! What have you got in mind?!
So is it white rum?
Not all of it is...and you’ll never really know what Rum most brands use. But purely for Quickness and Cheapness...you can pretty much guarantee that most cheaper Spiced Rum Brands are unaged Rums. Or Aged for 1-2 years max.
Dead mans fingers is gorgeous
Great Entry level Spiced. But when you get into Spiced Rums, there’s some amazing liquid out there. Check out my new video…

Thank you Gerald
I mix it with Dr. Pepper
Sailor Jerry
Should have the rum on show in the videos instead of the mixers
I'm confused?? Can you not see the Rum in front of me?!
@@StevetheBarmanUK I mean have it on show in all of your video's
@@ashcartwright9464 Ah. Nah, thanks...but nah, it'd detract from the main Spiced Rum in the Video. The whole point of the Videos is 'How to Drink it' and to provide inspiration...that comes from the mixers. Besides...i'd run out of room on the shelves pretty quickly.
@@StevetheBarmanUK good point, I just love to see a collection 😂
