There is nothing like enjoying an adult beverage now and then. I will say as a bit of a warning to pass on to others, rum made from a pot still has some wildly different characteristics than Bacardi or other off the shelf rums. 

Rum Recipe – How to Make Rum

Pot distilled rum, like the one in this recipe is much closer to Myers rum or a local rum found in the Caribbean.

This is the third in the series of “how to alcohol” I have shown you all how to make, if you missed the other two check them out:

  1. How To Make Whiskey
  2. How To Make Vodka

Warning! It is illegal to distill drinking alcohol in many countries, including the US. According to the TTB, US Federal law strictly prohibits individuals from producing distilled spirits at home, so only use this recipe for reference purposes. Unless, of course, it is the end of the world as we know it and the Federal government is not functioning. This is a great skill to know and master for a SHTF situation as alcohol could be used for barter; and naturally, entertainment. 🙂
