Because Lithuania recently requested a permanent garrison of US troops within their borders (same as Poland did,) I realized that I did not know where in hell Lithuania actually is in the milieu of countries threatened by Russia.
So, I ran across this:

I had no idea. I did note that Taiwan has stepped up its imports of rum from Lithuania in order to make up for the decrease in trade. What does Lithuanian Rum taste like? I like Rum in my cakes, and having just decided to try baking rum cakes (having not done so well with bread,) I want to keep abreast of my options.

(14,118 posts)or baking with rum, all the recipes I'm aware of begin with "Step1, pour one jigger of
rum into the baker/cook then proceed". My second ex-wife used to make rum balls
during the holidays. The recipe for them doesn't call for baking so they were pretty potent.
I guess you'll have to give the Lithuanian Rum a try. Let us know how it works out!

Needless to say after that my rum balls were made with non alcoholic rum flavoring.
To this day I freakin love rum balls. With real rum ,nowadays 😋
