Happy Halloween, but why should kids have all the fun?
Our friends at Cockspur Rum sent us this recipe for a Halloween treat for the grownups. You don’t have to don a costume to enjoy it, but since the rum called for is made in Barbados, a sailor’s costume might be best suited for sipping one.
Being the easternmost of the islands of the West Indies, Barbados has been the first port of call for many a British sailing ship over the centuries. Those sailors grew very fond of the local rum, carried it abroad, and created millions of devotees in the process. George Washington is said to have insisted on having a barrel of Barbados rum available at his 1789 inauguration.
Britain's Royal Navy gave its sailors a daily rum ration for many years. Plenty was kept available on board and after the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, Admiral Horatio Nelson's body was preserved in a cask of rum for the voyage to England.
