Rum Cocktails You Should Try At Least Once Have you had a rum cocktail lately? Have you enjoyed a tried and tested rum cocktail recipe all through the year? If not, it’s time you did! Rum is one of the most versatile drinks when it comes to creating a unique cocktail. So, whether it’s a Mojito or a Daiquiri, or any other rum cocktail, the latter can exploit rum’s full potential. In this article, we’ll talk about some rum cocktails you should try at least once…
Daiquiri: This is one rum cocktail everyone should not only drink but should learn how to make. A classic Daiquiri needs no fruit syrups and no blenders. All it needs to have are light rum, fresh lime juice, and sugar. Combine these three ingredients in a shaker and shake really well to dissolve the sugar. You can also use fruit syrup, which will bring out the taste of the rum. Once you learn how to make a basic Daiquiri, you can try making flavoured Daiquiris, such as Banana Daiquiri, Strawberry Daiquiri, and yes – believe it or not – Hemingway Daiquiri. Yes, the latter is named after the American writer of the 1920s and 1930s, Ernest Hemingway. Mojito: This is another simple rum cocktail, consisting of only a few ingredients, which are, rum, mint, lime, sugar, and soda. This is a refreshing cocktail, which is an epitome of freshness because of the mint. Again, you can try making a Pineapple Mojito, a Raspberry Mojito, and a Watermelon Mojito. Pina Colada: This is a coconut lover’s delight. You can enjoy this rum cocktail all through the year, but it is especially enjoyable during the summer. You can make a Pina Colada by either blending it or shaking it. This cocktail consists of light rum, pineapple juice, and coconut cream.
Hurricane: It’s time to revive this old favourite. To make a Hurricane, you need dark and rich Jamaican rum, passion fruit syrup, and lemon juice. This is quite similar to a Daiquiri, as both are sour drinks, but of course, the taste and the experience are very different. The Hurricane is an iconic rum cocktail and is the signature drink of New Orleans. Hot Buttered Rum: This is the perfect rum cocktail for the winter months. All you need is a dark rum, vanilla extract, brown sugar, butter, and a combination of winter spices? This is a spicy and sweet drink and you can make a large batch of the base mix, so that you can make yourself a Hot Buttered Rum anytime you like! Planter’s Punch: This is a tall and refreshing rum punch that contains a lot of fruit juices. Some people prefer pineapple in their Planter’s Punch, whereas others like passion fruit or a medley of fruits. You can flavour your Planter’s Punch any way you like but it’s a great and refreshing summertime drink. Dark and Stormy: This is a tall and refreshing rum drink that’s easy to pour. Ginger beer is the main ingredient in Dark & Stormy. It goes well with Gosling’s Black Seal Rum and this rum cocktail is supposed to be Bermuda’s national drink. This is probably the easiest rum cocktail to whip up. Cable Car: This is one of the great classic rum cocktails. To make this cocktail you should use spiced rum as the base. It also requires a fresh lemon sour as well as an orange liqueur, such as orange curacao. Like other sour drinks, this has a sweet as well as a sour element to it and is a perfect rum cocktail. Yaka Hula Hickey Dula: This is a mouthful just to say, and the recipe is just as fascinating as its name. This rum cocktail consists of a combination of rum and dry vermouth, accented with pineapple. This recipe is perfect for rum lovers who want to enjoy a martini-like drink that isn’t too sweet. Caipirinha: This list wouldn’t be complete without talking about this rum cocktail. It features cachaça, which is a sugar-based distilled spirit, considered to be a Brazilian style of rum. However, cachaça is made of raw sugar cane juice, rather than processed molasses. This is one of the most popular drinks in the world and is considered to be Brazil’s national drink. The drink is really simple…mix lime and sugar and then add cachaça. You can also use different fruits to come up with completely different flavours. These are just some of the most popular rum cocktails.
