Rum is a libation commonly associated with holidays, pool-side sipping and good times! Many mistakenly think rum is a sweet drink as it’s a sugarcane-based spirit. However, there are light rums, dark rums, aged rums, and spiced rums.
One of the oldest spirits, rum dates back to 1650 and can be enjoyed neat or cocktail style. To help your home mixology skills we’ve found these fun rum recipes…
