Sips & Tips
Technique
Spiced rum already has vanilla, cinnamon, and clove notes built in, so this Old Fashioned variation needs less work. Demerara syrup adds a molasses richness that complements the rum.
Balance
The spiced rum does most of the heavy lifting. You need less sweetener than a bourbon Old Fashioned because the rum is already flavored. The orange peel ties everything together.
