Spiced 0.0% Rum

Dead Man's Fingers' first foray into alcohol-free: a de-alcoholised take on their Cornish spiced rum, built around vanilla, caramel, and warm spice.

About This Drink

The Dead Man's Fingers name is well established in spiced rum circles, and this 0.0% version was their entry into the AF market — arriving as a 70cl bottle that mirrors the full-strength line-up in everything except the alcohol. The liquid is made using a spinning cone de-alcoholised rum aroma rather than a traditionally aged base, which places it closer to a flavoured spirit alternative than a true de-alcoholised rum. The ingredient list is relatively short: water, natural flavourings, sugar, caramel colouring, citric acid, and preservatives. What you get is something recognisably in the spiced rum family — vanilla and caramel are front and centre, with cinnamon and a hint of orange keeping things familiar. It works reasonably well in a Cuba Libre or with ginger beer, where a mixer does some of the heavy lifting. Neat or over ice, it's less convincing — the lack of the alcohol's structural warmth is more obvious. Worth a look if you're after something that nods toward spiced rum in a cocktail setting, and the 70cl format means it goes a fair distance.
