Cocktails like the Mojito and Daiquiri give rum its refreshing reputation and often relegate it to a summer drink, one that is associated with sunshine and island locales. The reputation is deserved, but limited. Rums—and particularly aged rums—work just as well during winter. The flavorful sugarcane spirit is complex and versatile and can be combined with ingredients like winter citrus fruits and warming spices to create seasonal drinks even during the coldest months. Storm the Beach hails from The Cocktail Club in Charleston, South Carolina. Bar manager Ryan Welliver puts an inventive spin on the usual rum cocktail by merging two types of rum with two types of citrus. That pairing receives a little sweetness from falernum and a spicy kick via an infused syrup made with cinnamon sticks and toasted cumin seeds, while a couple dashes of Tiki bitters lend additional complexity and balance. The fun doesn't stop there. Storm the Beach is affixed with a flaming lime shell garnish that is created simply by pouring overproof rum into a spent lime shell and setting it alight. Prepare for the resulting oohs and aahs of thirsty onlookers followed by their requests for you to keep the drinks flowing. 5 Winterized Classic Rum Cocktails to Try Right Now
