Dark Rum Simple Syrup
Serves: About ¼ cup
 
Dark rum is the key to this syrup, but because it is cooked, the alcohol evaporates, leaving only the iconic taste.
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup dark rum
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, stir together sugar, rum, and salt until well combined. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
