Rum

Rum is the spirit of the islands, and I grew up with it in the glass and in the dessert. Its caramel and vanilla notes make it as at home in a cheesecake as in a cocktail shaker.

My Authentic Coquito is a holiday must. Blend frosty Piña Coladas, stir up a Mai Tai Punch, then put rum in dessert with my Bananas Foster Cheesecake.
