Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the white rum, dark rum, sugar, and water. Stir well to dissolve the sugar completely.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Add the vanilla extract, lime juice, and the cinnamon stick to the pot. Stir to combine all ingredients.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat Mixture

    Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Do not let it boil.

  2. 4

    Simmer

    Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure that the sugar is fully dissolved and the flavors meld together.

Cooling and Serving

  1. 5

    Cool and Strain

    Remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool. After cooling, strain the mixture to remove the cinnamon stick and any sediment.

  2. 6

    Bottle and Serve

    Pour the rum into clean bottles and seal. Store in a cool, dark place. Serve over ice or as desired.
