Mojito
The most iconic of all rum cocktails is the Mojito. This Cuban classic is made with white rum, lime juice, mint leaves and soda water. It’s simple to make and can be enjoyed in any outdoor setting or as an evening refresher.The key to a fantastic Mojito is muddling the mint leaves with the lime juice before adding in your favorite white rum. The combination of flavors creates a light, refreshing cocktail that goes down oh so smooth! Try topping it off with some sparkling tonic for extra zing!
Daiquiri
Another beloved rum cocktail hailing from Cuba, Daiquiris come in many forms but are typically made using white or dark rum combined with citrus fruit juices such as lemon or lime. Popular variations include frozen daiquiris (blended until icy) and strawberry daiquiris (made with fresh strawberries).This drink packs a punch – just like its namesake town near Santiago de Cuba where it was invented by an American mining engineer during the Spanish-American War in 1898! To make one at home you’ll need about two ounces of your favorite quality golden-age style Rum mixed together with equal parts freshly squeezed lime juice and simple syrup. Shake it up over ice then strain into a chilled glass for maximum refreshment!
Rum Punch
Originating from Barbados more than 200 years ago this tropical treat has been delighting party goers ever since! A classic punch recipe calls for equal parts orange juice, pineapple juice and cranberry juice; plus four shots of aged Caribbean Rum – preferably Goslings Black Seal Rum if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on some.A good rule of thumb when making punches is always use fresh ingredients otherwise you won’t get that distinct flavor profile that makes these drinks so special. Give yours extra zest by squeezing half a lime over each serving before topping off each glassful with ginger beer or club soda – enjoy responsibly!.
