Spiced

A spicy bouquet jumps out of the glass before you taste anything. Vanilla, nougat and cinnamon hold through the middle while oak and cane notes develop underneath, and it lands on a honeyed finish with more weight than most alcohol-free rums manage. Molasses is the starting point, rounded out with oakwood, vanilla and orange. That backbone matters. Dark and stormys, cuba libres and rum punches all bury a thin substitute under ginger beer or cola, and this one stays audible. Smiling Wolf distils it from the same ingredients used for real spirits and finishes at 0.5% ABV, with the house blend of natural nootropics and B vitamins included. Roughly 9 calories per 25ml, low sugar and vegan friendly. Pour it long over ice with ginger beer and a squeeze of lime and you have the drink, not an apology for it.
