Can rum extract be used for lemon extract?

Rum extract is a flavoring made from rum, while lemon extract is made from lemons. They are not interchangeable and cannot be used as substitutes for each other.

Rum extract has a strong, sweet, and molasses-like flavor, while lemon extract has a tart and citrusy flavor. Using rum extract in place of lemon extract will result in a dish with a different flavor profile than intended.

If you do not have lemon extract on hand, you can try using a combination of lemon juice and lemon zest to achieve a similar flavor.
