Can I substitute whiskey for rum in baking?

The most accurate substitution would simply be rum extract. It is concentrated rum with a huge kick of flavor, and much less alcohol. A little goes a long way.

When in a pinch to substitute for vanilla extract, a brown liquor like bourbon or dark rum can do the trick, according to Food 52. But make sure to replace the extracts with one to two times that amount in alcohol. For example, if the recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of extract, swap it with 1 to 2 teaspoons of liquor.

What is difference between vodka and rum?
