Our brand-new pop up, The Rum Shack at the York & Albany, got us thinking a lot about rum. We asked ourselves ‘what is rum actually made of?’, ‘who invented rum and raisin ice cream?’ and ‘did pirates really drink rum?’ The first two questions are easy – rum is made (primarily) from sugarcane, and rum & raisin ice cream hails from Italy (we should have figured – thanks Italy). The third question took us longer to figure out, but we’re sure that if pirates did drink rum, they’d most definitely have a rum old time at our little slice of the Caribbean in Camden this summer!
