National Rum Day

Posted on

I’ll always say that vanilla is my very favorite flavor, but lately I find myself reaching for Baileys, Kahlua, rum or other liqueur as flavoring when I bake. Recently, for instance, I splashed some into my coconut macaroons, the filling of my strawberry tart and soaked many, many raspberries in it. I have plans for other spiked treats – but then I always have a long list of things that I want to bake.

Today – August 16th - is a good day to use a little liquor in your kitchen because it is National Rum Day. Like National S’mores Day, I’m not going to question the origin of this designation. I’ll just use it as an excuse to have a cocktail and to try out a new recipe or two. My archives, as I mentioned before, are packed, but you might want to take a look at some of these rummy recipes, as well:

    Mmmmm. I’ll take your word for it that it National Rum Day. My favourite recipe using rum so far is Bacardi Rum Cake. My brother used to make it years ago. Yammas!!!

    Rum’s my favourite alcohol, I would use it in way more things but not everyone else shares my passion…

What do you think?
