Captain Morgan is a well-known spiced rum that comes in different flavors. It was created by the Captain himself, Sir Henry Morgan (we all know his name), and first produced in 1944. He requested that a barrel of rum be sent as tribute to King Charles II and was buried with a toast from one full cup –“Here’s to my old friend, Good Health.” Captain Morgain Drinks Ingredients

This is where the spirit really shines. With the addition of a little ginger beer, all of those flavors start to come together really nicely for a delicious drink. The sweetness of this rum (particularly the brown sugar flavor) balances nicely with the bitter ginger beer, and the baking spices in the rum add a depth and richness to the drink. If you’re looking for another option that’s a bit on the sourer side, give the Captain’s lime shandy a try. Captain Morgan’s is a well-known alcoholic beverage that has been around for decades.

Shake it in a shaker and strain over ice before serving in a tall glass. Captain Morgan Spiced Rum is what I use most often in mixed drinks. The captain is the man of the house for spiced rum. If you’re looking for a drink that will take your taste buds on an adventure, this one’s for you. It’s got hints of molasses and mixed spices. The aromas here are clearly artificial. There’s a saturation and a syrupy sweetness to the smell of the glass that leaves no doubt. That said, it’s not entirely unappealing. It smells like someone dumped a bottle of vanilla extract into a pound of brown sugar — almost reminiscent of cookie dough. There are also some baking spices like nutmeg and cinnamon adding some complexity and interesting notes.

What you see in the aroma is pretty much what you get in the flavor. Once again, the flavors are unnaturally well-saturated with a viscosity like that of maple syrup (note: I’m referencing real maple syrup — not the fake corn syrup stuff). I get an immediate burst of brown sugar and vanilla, followed by some slight development of baking spices, before the finish winds up tasting almost exactly like a flat Coca Cola. On Ice With spiced rum, light rum, Malibu rum, and amaretto, it doesn’t have much choice but to be strong.

Henry Morgan was born in Wales in 1635, which had been fully annexed into Great Britain less than 100 years earlier. His early life (including how he made his way to the Caribbean) is largely unknown, but we do know that by the 1660’s Morgan was captain of a privateer ship charged with capturing Spanish ships in the Caribbean. He married his cousin in 1666, the daughter of the deputy governor of Jamaica, and was soon elevated to the rank of admiral and tasked with leading a group of privateers. In 1668, he led those forces in a successful assault on the town of Porto Bello, reportedly using captured clergy as human shields for his assault on one of the fortifications. He further led raids on Maracaibo, Gibraltar, and Panama before the end of privateering in the Caribbean in 1672. Morgan would continue to be a figure in Caribbean politics, acting as governor of Jamaica before his death in 1688.
