LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2023

COMPLETE THE KIT Mount Gay Black Barrel Double Cask Blend rum ( LCBO 17465, $70.50 ) from Barbados is approachable and bal anced, with notes of vanilla and toasted oak plus tropical and citrus fruit to meet the richness and caramel notes of the buttered rum batter. El Dorado 12-Year-Old Rum ( LCBO 60608, $55.20 ) from Guyana has creamy butterscotch and candied orange peel flavours, for another decadent cocktail-kit option.

Rum + Spiced Miso Brown Butter p. 241

Hot-buttered rum is truly a holiday classic; elevate it by gifting this unique homemade mix. Traditionally, butter and brown sugar are creamed together with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Here, browned butter (butter that is melted and darkened to bring out its natural nuttiness) meets Japanese miso (Japanese fermented soybean paste) for a modern flavour match with rum.
