1
Combine Base Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the white rum, brown sugar, and water. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
2
Heat the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
3
Dissolve Sugar Completely
Continue to simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sugar is fully dissolved into the rum mixture.

4
Add Flavorings
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, coconut extract, and lime juice.
5
Cool the Mixture
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before transferring it to a bottle or jar.

6
Bottle the Rum
Pour the cooled rum into a clean glass bottle or jar, seal it tightly, and store it in a cool, dark place.
7
Let it Age
For the best flavor, let the rum sit for at least 24 hours before using it in cocktails or recipes.
