Rum For Cooking and Drinks

Rum is rum, right? Not quite. While rum may be a distilled beverage made from the rum seed, rum ether is rum made by a fermentation process that uses sugar to create alcohol. While rum may have "rum" in its name, it is not necessarily a rum-based drink; it can be any flavorful alcohol created by fermenting sugar and adding yeast culture to help fermentation. In the United States, rum is considered an Irish drink due to an American influx of Irish immigrants during the mid-nineteenth century.

Rum is a very flavorful alcoholic drink made from the rum plant. However, rum ether also has a distinctive smell and taste. A chemical analysis of rum ether research produced by rum distillers has identified 22 key components in varying concentrations; among those 22 are vanillin, sulfites, ferulic acid, flavonoids, toluene, catalytic acid, phenol and other organic compounds. Among these compounds, sulfites have been identified as being responsible for the rum flavor, while the presence of other organic compounds have been attributed to coloring. The most common coloring agents used to create rum ether include zinc (such as the brandy coloring that is often seen in top-quality rum) and tinned compounds.

So how do you make a good rum ether? When making a rum ether, it is important to note that colorless fruits and vegetables will typically produce the best taste and color in a mix. Citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons and limes, tend to produce the most flavor and color with their high water content; however, they also tend to lose much of their color as they age. Fruit extracts that do not retain much of their initial color include grapefruit and mango, which are largely colorless. Vegetables and grains that have relatively little water content will tend to retain more of their color, so if you are looking for a good colorless fruit or vegetable combination, these would be the ideal fruits and vegetables to use. Other fruits and vegetables to combine well with rum would include cucumbers, peaches, pears and strawberries, as they also hold true to having a high water holding capacity.

To make your own rum flavored drink, it is quite simple to make a batch of your favorite ingredients and mix them up. All it takes is a bit of mixing and a bit of patience to achieve the desired taste. For instance, mixing up a mixture of sugar, rum and lime juice can produce an amazing tropical style drink. There are rum flavored juices that are created with coconut, lime, orange and even vanilla flavors. With rum, you have choices such as rum flavored water, rum flavored syrup, rum infused ice cream and rum punch.

When it comes to using rum in cooking, there are many dishes where you can add the flavor without having to purchase the actual rum itself. One great dish is shrimp gumbo, which can be created simply by melting down some seafood gumbo along with some chicken stock, cream and mayonnaise in a blender. Once you blend all of these ingredients together, you will have a tasty and quite delicious dish that will fool even the most seasoned gourmet chef! You could also create a rum infused gingerbread recipe, which would be delicious after the holidays.

Many rum flavor recipes are available online as well as in many cookbooks and pastry books. By experimenting with different combinations of fruits, spices and fruits and adding the appropriate amount of sweeteners, you can create recipes that have a high degree of complexity. If you have never made rum before, however, it may be best to start with lighter rum flavors in order to allow your palate to get used to the different flavors of rum. As you become more experienced, you can then move on to using stronger rum varieties.
