📜 History

This fall-inspired variation on the classic Bermuda rum highball adds maple syrup for a seasonal twist. The maple's caramel notes complement dark rum's molasses character beautifully, while ginger beer provides familiar spice and effervescence. Popular at autumn gatherings and harvest parties, this drink bridges tropical rum culture with New England maple traditions. The combination works particularly well with aged dark rums that have their own caramel and vanilla notes.
