Thread: Bay Rum Drink

From the 2 and a half minutes of Googling I did, I've concluded that a Bay Rum drink has not happened. So here's the question, can it be done? I know Bay Rum aftershave/cologne contains things that we can't consume, but can a drink with rum in it be made that tastes like bay rum smells (preferably with bay leaves as well)?
Thoughts? Suggestions? Am a-talkin' the crazy talk??

Thanks

Dark, sweet rum garnished with bay leaves?

You could maybe even make a simple syrup with some clove or allspice. And no you're not the first one to look at a bay rum bottle after smelling it and think " Hmmm... how sick would this make me"

Hey Brent, let me know how this goes!

Okay, I'm having a Halloween party at my place this weekend, so this is going on the shopping list. What moderately priced rum would be best suited for this? I was thinking Capt. Morgan's spiced just because it's good and "spiced," but it seems like I should get something a little darker than that...
Thoughts?

i attempted my own bay rum recipe and used sailor jerry's rum.. it's very spiced and has a very nice sweet cherry scent to it... the aftershave was a success.. i never tried drinking it though.

Try some Cruzan Black Strap. You'll get the good molasses flavor.

Never had it. How overpowering is the liquorice taste? If it's pretty subtle then okay, but I don't usually prefer liquorice.

Hmm.. I made a bay rum with 151 and Vodka, some juniper berries , orange zest, and cinnamon. I still have a little left guess I may have to try drinking some tonight

Hah! Not a bad plan, but I'm really not a vodka fan. Also I don't want it to be fruity, but the cinnamon sounds like a good addition!

I've got a good feeling about this.
