Rum or rhum? “Rum” is a catch-all term for every style of the spirit, from white rums and golden rums to dark and spiced varieties. “Rhum”, on the other hand, refers to one style of rum only. The term is short for ‘rhum agricole’ (with ‘agricole’ meaning ‘agricultural’ in French), a style of rum originally distilled on French Caribbean islands such as Martinique, Haiti and the Guadeloupe archipelago.

This recipe minus the rum makes a great cocktail.

This is a wonderful hot drink after being outside in the cold. It had more complex flavours than a simple hot toddy.
