Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 My understanding is that white rum is legal but it's generally recommended to stay away from dark rums as they may have " caramel coloring " added that may contain illegals. I have consumed expensive dark rums with no ill effects, fairly confident that their color stems from barrel aging. Some people have indicated that rum is not legal since it's made from sugar and/or molasses, but the process of distillation should neutralize that, as with any other alcohol (i.e, vodka made with potatoes doesn't have starch). I have been drinking Bacardi white rum since beginning SCD and haven't had any problems with it (especially tasty are mojitos made with mint, honey, lime juice, and club soda). I don't think Elaine specifically lists it in BTVC. If you have any doubts, you might want to stick with vodka.
