Rum for Cocktails
Explore Drinkero's selection of rums chosen for cocktail making. From light and versatile white rum to rich and characterful dark rum, rum is the foundation of some of the world's most popular classic and tropical cocktails.
Rum for Cocktail Making
Different styles of rum bring very different character to a cocktail. White rum provides a clean, light base that works particularly well with citrus, mint and sugar, while dark rum adds deeper notes of caramel, spice and molasses to richer drinks.
White & Dark Rum
- White Rum — light, clean and versatile, ideal for Mojitos, Daiquiris and other fresh, citrus-forward cocktails.
- Dark Rum — richer and more robust, ideal for Dark ’n’ Stormys and other cocktails that benefit from deeper rum character.
Classic Cocktails with Rum
- Mojito — white rum, lime, sugar syrup, mint and soda water.
- Daiquiri — white rum, lime juice and sugar syrup.
- Dark ’n’ Stormy — dark rum, ginger beer and lime.
- Mai Tai — rum, orange liqueur, lime and orgeat.
