Oooooweee! This sounds great. I've recently stocked the rum shelf so can make a version (w/ some variation.) Thanks for sharing. I love that it can be pre-made and just waiting for me to drink on those nights when I am too exhausted to even squeeze a lime.

Yep. In fact, chilling it was a luxury for pirates. They mainly didn't bother. You should try it at room temperature or when it's been sitting in the sunlight. Gets in your system real fast.

I recommend doing a few smaller batches first so you can get your rum, sugar, and spice selections to your liking. Once you've got your basic formula down, it's easy to tweak it with corrections when you make a full-sized (e.g., 750 ml) batch.
