Black Widow Toffee Apple Rum

Black Widow Toffee Apple Rum glowing garnet red in an etched POMARIUM bottle, beside a glass in a spooky candlelit stone cellar.

A rich autumn blend of rum and toffee apple, made at home with Witches Brew syrup and your own rum. This recipe uses POMARIUM's tested balance of 300ml rum to 200ml syrup.

Makes approximately 500ml.

Ingredients

  • 300ml rum, supplied by you
  • 200ml Witches Brew toffee-apple syrup

You will need

Your clean, 500ml POMARIUM bottle and closure, a measuring jug, a spoon and a funnel.

Method

  1. Measure the rum and Witches Brew syrup into the jug.
  2. Stir thoroughly until fully combined.
  3. Using a funnel, pour into your clean POMARIUM bottle. Leave enough space for the closure; do not force in any remaining mixture if the bottle is full.
  4. Seal and label with the ingredients and date made. Gently invert to recombine before serving if the mixture separates.

To serve

Pour a small measure over ice, or lengthen with a splash of soda water.
