Dark Rum Recipes

Rum is a popular choice for making tropical cocktails. In the simplest terms, rum is a distilled spirit that’s made from some form of sugar (most commonly pure cane sugar, a syrup, or molasses). 

Rum is one of the oldest distilled spirits, and it’s been produced and consumed in the Caribbean for generations.

There are a few key types of rum to be aware of: light or white, gold or amber (a medium-bodied rum), aged, and dark. Each variety of rum has its own unique flavor, but rum is generally subtly sweet, smooth, and smoky.
