Spiced Rum Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, combine the white rum and maple syrup. Stir well to ensure the maple syrup is fully dissolved into the rum.

  2. 2

    Add Spices

    Add the cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and orange zest to the mixture. Stir gently to combine all the spices evenly.

  3. 3

    Infuse Flavors

    Cover the mixture with plastic wrap or a lid and let it sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours. This allows the spices to infuse into the rum.

  4. 4

    Strain the Mixture

    After the infusion period, use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the mixture into a clean bottle, discarding the solids.

  5. 5

    Bottle and Store

    Transfer the spiced rum into a glass bottle with a tight-sealing cap. Store it in a cool, dark place. The flavors will continue to develop over time.
