Malibu Coconut Rum
This rum is so perfectly sweetened, that it does just fine without a mixer or chaser. You can drink it from the bottle, although we wouldn’t recommend it. It’s so tropical and vacation-y that you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to the beach, even if you’re just watching Netflix on your couch.
Blue Chair Vanilla Rum
It’s so smooth, that it goes down like water. Blue Chair Vanilla rum is what your vanilla dreams are made of. Perfect for sweet cocktails, this doesn’t have even the slightest bit of harshness.
Bacardi Limon Rum
Lemon is a great flavor, and it’s pretty much the best sidekick for a glass of rum. But why do that when you have Bacardi’s lemon-flavored rum, which is delicious enough to become your new staple? Add some frozen lemonade to it and you have deliciousness in a glass!
Bombo 40 Caramel and Coconut Rum
It comes in a bottle with an actual pirate symbol and is a sweet treat for those who love tropical flavors. It’s smooth and pretty much the perfect rum, mixed with strong fruity undertones—unless you are a purist.
Don Q Pineapple Flavored Rum
Pineapple and rum is a pair made in heaven. And Don Q Pina is pretty much a summery piña colada in a bottle. With 60% proof, this drink is ideal when served cold.
