Hi tasted this the other week and it was delicious -would like to have a go at making it for Xmas day.In the recipe he specifies Golden Rum (didn't even know there was such a thing!) . I don't really want to buy a whole bottle of spirits which will never be drunk just for a cup or two for this recipe - does anyone know if ordinary dark rum would produce a similar result? Thanks!

Dark rum is much stronger flavoured than lighter versions. You could buy Appletons. Very nice to drink on its own or in black tea on cold winters night. I am sure it would not stay "undrunk".

I don't know much about rum, but am assuming the dark will be "heavy" compared with the golden.Have you tried to get it in the miniatures bottles?

If you want the same taste you will need the golden rum ,2 cups would be at least half a bottle & the rest will keep till next year or in some places you can buy half bottles otherwise try using apple juice for a slightly different flavour.

Thanks for the help- we're not spirit drinkers so wasn't sure.Will have a think or perhaps try a different recipe. Can't really justify the expense for 1 C per year!

I'm sure the bottle of rum would last 4 years though!

why not buy a hip flask of rum-you dont need to buy a whole 40oz bottle or a 750-BTW it does last for ages but you can always send to me i only drink rum:)-not very often mind you but when i do want a glass of something thats what I drink yummy

I looked today and could only find full size bottles for around $37. I know it keeps, but thats pretty expensive for glazing a ham.Maybe I'll just try with the dark version and see what happens........
