Recipe: Spiced Rum Article

Whether or not you're a fan of spiced rums (I especially like the Kraken), this article's worth a look, especially for the recipes from Martin Cate and others:

Here's a thread when the the article came out

FWIW, the Henry and John recipe is pretty tasty.

Thanks for the info, though I linked to a new article (with much the same info)

That recipe does indeed make a good spiced rum. Lately, I've been making the spiced rum as presents for friends. By their reactions, you'd swear that I've turned lead into gold.

I made three of 'em tonight.
The Henry & John was the finest of the three, but the full ounce of simple syrup was a bit much for me... I'll half it next time.
Cable Car was delicious... very sweet citrusy, and perfect for a hot summer night.
The Shore Leave Swizzle has potential, but the pineapple juice really takes over the whole thing. I might half that next time, too.

Denver has no hot summer nights!

That's a myth, man.
It was 85 degrees inside my house last night.
We hit a hundred degrees during the summer here and there... high of 95 today.
