I enjoyed this very much. I took Rita's suggestion and used spiced rum, but also added all the listed spices, for a real intense flavour. I added 1 tangerine rind and 1 meyer lemon peel to the rum and spices while cooking, to help release more of the citrus oils. This was a nice, rich, smooth, citrusy, spicy coffee which I will make again. Thanks for sharing Little Turtle.Reply

This was good but not spicy or sweet enough for us...even after 4x the amount of spices and the 1 cup of brown sugar. I used Meyers dark rum. I found it greatly improved after reheating it more in the microwave which brings the flavors out in the orange & lemon peel. I added a hand full of semi-sweet chocolate chips to my mug and thought that made it much better. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.Reply

Warming and tasty! I used only a 1/2 cup sugar and I thought it was plenty (I tend to like my drinks a little less sweet). I only added 1/2 cup rum to the saucepan and added the rest after I removed the mixture from the heat, to avoid cooking all of the alcohol off. Next time I think I'll add some orange rind directly to the saucepan...I'd enjoy an even stronger orange flavor with this. Of course, it's perfectly lovely as written, too. Thanks for sharing!Reply
