Goslings Black Seal Dark Rum and PC The World’s Best Egg Nog make one of the best combinations during the holidays.
We alway buy Goslings Black Rum just for this purpose at Christmas because our regular rum, El Dorado just doesn’t have enough flavour or richness to stand up to an eggnog.
It’s also an excellent rum to soak your dried fruit in for Christmas cake or puddings.

This recipe from epicurious sounds very tempting for a Thanksgiving dinner, let me know with a comment if you do try it. Recipe link here.
“Pumpkin pies have long been favored in New England; there is a recipe for a “pompkin” pie in Amelia Simmons’s 1796 American Cookery. New England colonists, in spite of their puritanical reputation, were known to enjoy a tot of rum now and then. And if the liquor was hidden in a pie, even the ladies were able to indulge.”
