Rum making

Do I have to buy the coconut rum making kit then buy the caribean spice essence and use that instead of the coconut essence?

You could do it this way, but you would need 2 of the caribean essences as each of the essencia essences will do 2.25 litres and the classic liqueur kit will make 4.5 litres.

Another option would be to make your own alcohol with some turbo yeast which will produce 14% to 23% pure alcohol and add your caribean spice essence to this. Here is a link to the turbo yeasts and also a video guide (you can just miss out the smart still stage) on using essences and turbo yeasts:

Hope this helps. If you have anymore questions please let me know.
