If you are a fan of rum, this listicle is for you because it’s going to make your life a lot more delicious. If you don’t like rum, then this listicle is even more important because, trust us, you are gonna fall in love with rum after you experiment with these recipes.
Neat, room temperature: Rum tastes its flavourful best when it’s served neat at room temperature. Warm it up a little by holding the glass with your palm, and you are golden. If you are experimental you could try vanilla or fruit-flavoured rums too.
Rum and Coke: The first drink that made you feel like a mixologist – this is an absolute delight. The simple fizzy soda absolutely balances out the darkness of the rum. You can’t really mess this up, but if you like to be very particular, ⅔ coke with ⅓ rum is the right balance. Drink up!
Cuba Libre: This drink became a hit around the world during the Spanish American war, so it comes with some solid history. 60 ml light rum with the juice of half a lime over some ice gives makes for pretty much the best version of light rum.
Go Bishop: There’s a common belief that rum is a lone ranger and it doesn’t mix well with other spirits. We agree to disagree. Mix 60 ml rum with a generous amount of red wine, add a teaspoon of sugar syrup and a teaspoon of lime juice and tada, you have a Bishop cocktail. It’s boozier and better!
The awesome threesome: Want to drink rum but keep it healthy? Mix apple juice and rum. Like to be a little badass? Mix Tonic water and light rum. Wanna go the natural way? Go for coconut water and rum. The proportion is a consistent 1:2. Trust us when we say, you won’t regret mixing these up.
