A Dark Rum Dinner "Up North"

Jim's favorite venison dinner is Rum Spiced Venison Chops and since we had to purchase a new bottle of  dark rum, Carol and I decided to "add" rum to the rest of the meal. We tried different drinks to start with and the Mumsicle, a takeoff on a Manhattan, with dark rum, bourbon, a splash of bitters, garnished with a cherry, hit the spot.

We ended the meal with a French Apple Custard Pie, delightfully rum sautéed apples with a vanilla custard topped with a sliced almond crunch. YUM!
