Made popular by TV show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Rum Ham is…. a ham soaked in rum. Now this recipe is a little classier than the ham the gang in the show feasted on, but will still have your diners asking “Where’s the Rum Ham?” at your next family function.

If you prefer to drink your rum, try cocktails at local restaurants like Cuba Libre, Rosa Blanca, Mixto,  and the newly opened tiki bar, The Yachtsman.
