Homemade Spiced Rum is the queen of all spiced rums, because you can flavor it yourself! It's so easy, and way better than store bought. It makes the perfect addition to every drink, from a Cuba Libre to a tiki cocktail.
Fill a 16-ounce mason jar with ginger root, star anise, peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon stick and vanilla extract. Fill jar with rum. Cover and let infuse for at least 24 hours.
Strain rum through a fine meshed strainer into a bowl. Decant back into jar and replace lid. Spiced rum will keep indefinitely.
