Spiced rum and Coke might be easy… but white rum can do so much more.
White rum is often overlooked as “basic” or just something for simple mixers, but when it’s used properly, it creates some of the freshest and most balanced cocktails you can make at home. In this video, I’m sharing five white rum cocktails that prove just how versatile this spirit really is.
From properly made classics like the Daiquiri and Mojito to other easy rum cocktails you’ll actually want to remake, these drinks focus on flavour, balance, and simple techniques. Whether you’re using a familiar brand like Bacardi or exploring something more craft-led, the key is pairing white rum properly and letting it shine.
