크루잔 바닐라 럼

The vanilla comes through smooth and sweet without being syrupy, which is exactly what I wanted for sipping over ice. Put a splash in some ginger ale and you've got a solid Friday drink sorted.

Mixing this with Coke makes a dangerously smooth Cuba Libre that goes down way too easy. The vanilla comes through without being cloying or artificial tasting.

I was a bit skeptical about flavored rums, but this one works perfectly in a simple rum and Coke. The bottle's standard size is great for trying it out, and it mixes smoothly without any harsh aftertaste.
