Not Just For Pirates Anymore

Rum is a pretty standard ingredient in most daiquiris and a lot of other mixed drinks. Like Vodka, it can be mixed with pretty much anything to create a tasty mixed drink. Rum, on the other hand, typically has a very distinct flavor, and comes in several varieties. Rum can come in a Clear or Amber variety, each of which can be a spiced rum. The basic rum would be a Clear rum, which is used mostly for mixed drinks.

This lens will contain recipes for a variety of drinks containing rum. New drinks will be added regularly.

Rum At A Glance 

Rum is a distilled beverage made from sugarcane by-products such as molasses and sugarcane juice by a process of fermentation and distillation. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak and other barrels. The majority of the world's rum production occurs in and around the Caribbean and in several Central American and South American countries, such as Guatemala, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil. There are also rum producers in places such as Australia, Fiji, the Philippines, India, Reunion Island, Mauritius, and elsewhere around the world.

Light rums are commonly used in cocktails, whereas golden and dark rums are also appropriate for drinking straight, or for cooking. Premium rums are also available that are made to be consumed straight or with ice.

Rum plays a part in the culture of most islands of the West Indies, and has famous associations with the Royal Navy (See: Grog) and piracy (See: Bumbo). Rum has also served as a popular medium of exchange that helped to promote slavery along with providing economic instigation for Australia's Rum Rebellion and the American Revolution.See article on triangular trade.
