Spirit Thursday again. And I feel we have ignored rum. So we will rectify that with today’s recipe.

In a world full of liquor brands without a history, the Legendary Rum of St. Croix campaign uses 240 years of island legends, heritage and imagery to remind consumers that Cruzan is an authentic, premium rum.
