Rum Zoom
The Rum Zoom is a simple mixture of Rum and Cream (with some Honey as well) to create a sweet cocktail that's guaranteed to warm you up. Yes, this cocktail is a bit of a Winter warmer (although it's served cold). Some people like warm milk, but it wouldn't really go here. Maybe it does... you're welcome to try!The Zoom is a general style of cocktail that's made up of milk, honey syrup, and a spirit. More commonly, this recipe is made with Cognac or Brandy, but you can really use any base spirit you can think of. Obviously some spirits do better than others in a Zoom. We can't imagine having this cocktail with Tequila for example. But any sweeter style spirit will work, so try this recipe with Cognac, Bourbon, or different styles of Rum!
Ingredients
- 45 mL Golden Rum feel free to try other Rums too
- 1 tsp Honey
- 15 mL Full Cream Milk
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker.
- Fill shaker with ice.
- Shake everything until cold.
- Strain into a Coupe glass.
Notes
Make sure all the Honey is dissolved and mixed in. If you have Honey Syrup on hand, feel free to use about 15 mL of Honey Syrup rather than just straight Honey. That's kind of the point of Honey Syrup after all...
You're also welcome to garnish the Rum Zoom (or any Zoom for that matter) with a sprinkling of Chocolate Powder, but that's up to you. This is more of a dessert cocktail thanks to the milk.
Other than that, if you like Milk based cocktails like the White Russian, this may be a good addition to your recipe book, especially if you want to try something with a base spirit that isn't Vodka.
