How to prepare the Essential Rum Cocktails You Have to Taste.
The secret behind a good drink recipe is not always the exact measurements in ounces or centiliters; it’s the basic ingredients and the proportions between them. The 2:1:1 formula is almost foolproof and quickly gets you started and experimenting. It reads 2 parts base spirit, 1 part sweet (simple syrup), and 1 part sour (freshly squeezed lemon juice).
The key, apart from the proportions, is the two ingredients of sweet and sour. With a good supply of simple syrup and freshly squeezed lemons, you are prepared for almost anything. (By freshly squeezed lemons, we mean just that.) To spare your party from a too-messy kitchen and your guests from ruining their outfits, some pre-squeezing is a good idea.
Try the formula with anyone of our flavors, shake and strain in a cocktail glass, or build it over ice in a rocks glass. Tweak the balance between sweet and sour to your taste. (Many bartenders prefer a bit more sour than sweet.)
Start experimenting: switch the base spirit to whiskey, rum or gin; the lemon for lime or orange. Sweeten with a flavored syrup. Top up with soda water, ginger ale, or lemon-lime soda. Add some muddled fresh fruit in the bottom while you’re at it…You see? It’s as easy as 2:1:1!
Rum. Just the idea of it conjures up images of pirates, deserted beaches, buried treasure and beguiling senoritas… So shake up one of these drinks to dream the day away.
Rum is a great addition to so many cocktails. It's toasty in a warming nightcap or cooling in refreshing tropical drink. So grab a cocktail umbrella and get sippin'.
Have you enjoyed a made-from-scratch Daiquiri lately? What about a real Mojito? If not, then you're missing out on some of the best rum cocktails ever created. Sure, there are thousands of recipes with a rum base, yet only a few stand out from the crowd and these are cocktails that you really need to taste.
It is not just that you can order these popular rum drinks at most bars. It's also not the fact that almost all of these recipes are very easy to make at home.
No, this collection of simple drinks shows off rum's full potential. From the brilliantly simple Dark & Stormy to the warm and inviting Hot Buttered Rum, there is a drink on this list for every occasion, season, and taste.
These rum-filled favorites have been enjoyed by drinkers for decades and show no signs of losing their appeal. Many of them have also inspired many other cocktails and by learning the basic recipes, you will soon be on your way to rum bar bliss.
Rum doesn't get the most love in the cocktail world—too many people have been put off by sickly-sweet tiki drinks made with bottom-shelf versions of the sugarcane-based spirit. And that's a shame, because quality rums, whether a crisp white, a caramelly dark, or a near-dangerously strong naval variety, offer a world of flavors.
