Top Ten Things To Do With Infused Rum
DISCLAIMER: This is not an actual "Top Ten" list
So, I was going to link the snot out of my previous post. I still plan to do this, but I wanted to get a recipe out of the way first. I've also been considering format and titling. Should I just put the drink name in the post title? Should I give the story before or after the recipe? Does it need a photo? Do I write a long amusing story or is simpler better? Who knows? The CSWOG knows!
Anyway, here it is:
Indian Broom
1.5oz citrus spiced rum
0.5oz rooibos coco chai syrup
0.5oz lemon juice
Shake, rocks, peel.
I think I spent longer on the name than I did on the drink. It's okay. It may need tweaking. The syrup didn't turn out as I'd hoped so maybe syrupping properly is all that's needed. (that's right I used syrup as a verb). My rum was going to be spiced rum but the citrus peels overtook the other flavours. I added more orange and decided I didn't need to replace my Triple Sec.
So about the name....
I had curling on the brain. I'll expand on that later. I'll tell you about that and the Lemon Party.
The name, the party, and some other stuff...
Cheers!

My latest spiced rum is citrus forward too. The recipe I used is below.
Believe it or not, I had some of my rooibos syrup lying around, though it wasn't coco chai flavored.
So I made the damn drink. I have to say, it's pretty good. There's a lot of vanilla going on, because of the rooibos and the rum. It all melds together into a very pleasant acidic yet warm rum drink. I have a feeling it'd be a lot more interesting if I had used your rooibos syrup.
