Rum Cocktails and Drink Recipes

Rum is a distilled spirit made from sugarcane byproducts, such as molasses or sugarcane juice. It has a long history, dating back to the Caribbean in the 17th century, where it was first produced by slaves on sugarcane plantations. Rum played a major role in the slave trade and was often used as a form of currency. Today, rum is produced in many countries and is enjoyed in a variety of ways, such as in cocktails like the Mojito and the Daiquiri.
