Discover 5 of the best rums for making delicious cocktails! From light and sweet to dark and spicy, find out which rum is perfect for your next mixed drink.
Light and Sweet
When it comes to light and sweet rums, Bacardi Superior is a classic choice. This white rum has a smooth flavor that pairs well with almost any fruity mixer or soda. It’s also perfect for making Mojitos or Daiquiris! For an even lighter option, try Cruzan Aged Light Rum. This golden-colored rum has subtle notes of vanilla and caramel that will give your cocktails an extra special kick.
Dark and Spicy
If you’re looking for something dark, rich in flavor and slightly spicy, Mount Gay Black Barrel Rum is the way to go! Made from aged double distilled Caribbean molasses spirits, this bold blend of spices gives your drinks just the right amount of zesty complexity without overpowering other flavors. If you prefer something more mellow but still full-bodied then Kraken Black Spiced Rum might be more up your alley. With its hints of cinnamon and nutmeg plus a touch of sweetness from natural fruit essences – it’s sure to make any cocktail perfectly balanced.
Smooth Yet Robust
For those who want their drinks to have a bit more depth without sacrificing smoothness – Appleton Estate Signature Blend Reserves are ideal. This Jamaican rum uses artisanal distilling techniques which allows for complex aromas like oak wood smoke along with sweet tropical fruits such as mangoes & bananas coming through on the palate. Ron Zacapa Centenario 23 Solera Gran Reserva is another great choice if you’re after something robust yet velvety at the same time; made using only selected premium sugarcane honeys from Guatemala this award-winning spirit will definitely impress!.
