Yikes! It’s National Rum Day! I was shutting down my computer for the evening and off to bed when the internet caught my eye and informed me it was National Rum Day so of course, I had to make a rum drink in honor of the day!
It was…..ok. I just had regular rum instead of Kirk and Sweeney 12 year rum so maybe that’s why it tasted off. Haha. Or maybe I’m just not a big Rum drinker. Either way, here is the recipe.
