Rum Cocktails

Distilled from sugarcane byproducts, mostly molasses, though some styles use pressed cane juice for a grassier character. Style shifts by region: lighter rums use modern stills for a cleaner profile, while darker rums ferment slower and pick up richer, funkier notes and caramel depth from aging. Spiced rum is a newer, flavored offshoot. Rum cocktails lean tropical, fruity, and sweet.
