5 Easy Rum Cocktails (Better Than A Mojito)

I haven't done any rum cocktails for a while, so it was about time we changed that. Today, I'm diving into the world of tropical cocktails, and trust me, these are the ultimate crowd pleasers! Whether you're dreaming of summer in the winter or seeking a tropical escape during the sunny months, these cocktails will transport you to paradise. The best part? You don’t need any fresh ingredients or juices to whip these up! I’ve got five incredible drinks lined up for you, including a slushie that’s sure to be a hit. My personal favourite? It’s tough to choose, but I think you’ll love the last one the most, so make sure to stick around until the end!


We kick things off with a Hurricane cocktail inspired drink that’s bursting with flavour. I’ll show you how to mix it up with some Giffard banana liqueur and ginger beer for a delightful twist. Then, we’ll move on to a refreshing rum punch slushie that’s perfect for any occasion. I’ll guide you through the simple steps to create a tropical paradise in your glass, using just a few key ingredients.


Next, we’ll explore a unique take on the Jungle Bird cocktail, swapping out traditional ingredients for a fruity alternative that’s sure to impress. And if you’re looking for something easy yet delicious, I’ll share my take on the classic Collins cocktail, but with a tropical twist that you won’t want to miss.


Finally, we’ll wrap things up with a Queen’s Park Swizzle that’s packed with layers of flavour, including a hint of spice that will leave you wanting more. So grab your rum and let’s get mixing!
