Top 10 Spiced Rum Drinks With Recipes

What is Spiced Rum

Spiced Rum is a distilled alcoholic beverage, and is one of the best variations of regular rum. It is 80-proof, darker in color, with about 86 calories in one shot. The drink gets its flavor, and the dark color from the spices added to it, and often from caramel (used in relatively cheaper brands).
