Yo ho ho and a barrel of rum! You don't have to have a peg leg or a blue beard to enjoy a rum-based tipple from time to time, and now you can give the gift of endless spirit thanks to this Rum Making Kit with Barrel.
Each make-your-own rum kit comes with a wrought iron stand, bung, spigot, and enough ingredients for three rounds of rum -- everything the lucky recipient needs to get their home-based distillery up and running. The homemade rum kit is attractive, too; the miniature barrel has tons of aesthetic appeal and would look fantastic perched on a kitchen counter or nestled amongst other boozy items on a bar or sideboard. When you need a gift for men or women with culinary prowess or a talent for cocktails, this rum making kit is right on target.
As far as gifts for rum lovers go, this is one present that delivers the goods time and time again, and the results are adjustable depending on taste. Give it just enough time to mellow and you'll have a young, light liquor ideal for mixing with fruit juice or a rum punch, mojito, or mai tai. Let the rum age, and it'll take on richer, toastier, more caramel notes perfect for stirring into a dark and stormy or for sipping all on its own. Is the summer heat getting hard to beat? Suggest your friend or family member use their new kit to make enough room for several pool-side batches of pina coladas or daiquiris, and make sure you RSVP ASAP.
