Welcome to the Rum Cocktail Recipes GuideHere you will find the world’s most popular and easy to make rum cocktail recipes
Rum and rum cocktails are usually associated with white tropical beaches. Rum cocktail recipes often require tropical fruit and cocktails with rum are usually bright coloured and decorated with these tropical fruits. Rum is another spirit that is very versatile in the world of mixed drinks and combines well with most fruit juices to give a tropical flavour to your drinks. So, this is another perfect opportunity for you to experiment with rum cocktail recipes! You will find that many rum cocktails contain cream, milk or ice cream. Also, many rum cocktail recipes require you to blend the ingredients. Rum is produced in many countries, but mostly on the islands off Central and South America. Jamaican rum is usually dark, Puerto Rican rum is light and Cuban rum can be dark or light or anything in between. Generally, bartenders use light rums in cocktails, but you can use darker rums. If you need to choose, we suggest you go for a lighter rum. TIP: Check out our Cocktail Mixing Guide for an explanation of the terms used on this page.
