This is our take on the ice cream version of Rum’s curious Afro Caribbean/American history. It is Butter Rum flavored custard. While the sugarcane industry was unquestionably made possible via the institution of slavery, it has also been written that it was the enslaved who developed the rum making process of fermenting and distilling molasses. While rum was enjoyed by the enslaved as well as by poor whites, Rum was literally trending in today’s terms back in the 1700’s.
