Rum
Rum is a distilled alcoholic spirit made from sugarcane-derived material. White and aged rums have different aromas; neither is interchangeable with a nonalcoholic syrup.
Caribbean uses
It appears in Caribbean cocktails and in some cakes and dessert sauces. The drink below is explicitly for adults who choose alcohol, with a nonalcoholic option offered separately.
Preparation and storage
Measure rather than free-pour. Do not assume heating removes all alcohol, and do not flambé near guests or an uncontrolled flame.
Recipe
Rum: adult citrus spritz
1 adult serving
Ingredients
- 30 ml Rum — labeled ready-to-drink spirit
- 15 ml lime juice
- 90 ml sparkling water
- 4 ice cubes
Method
- Confirm that the adult guest chooses alcohol and accepts the product’s ingredients.
- Measure the spirit and lime into a glass over ice.
- Top with sparkling water and stir gently. For an alcohol-free option, omit the spirit and use 30 ml pineapple juice instead.
At the table
A measured pour gives a drink a recognizable cane-spirit character.
