Best Rum Cocktails
Rum spans a huge range of styles — from light Cuban whites to rich aged Jamaicans. These recipes make the most of each style.
Mojito
The definitive rum cocktail. 50ml white rum, juice of half a lime, a teaspoon of sugar, 8 mint leaves muddled gently, soda water. Served long over ice.
Daiquiri
50ml white rum, 25ml fresh lime juice, 15ml sugar syrup. Shake hard with ice, strain into a coupe. Simplicity is the point — use good rum and fresh lime.
Dark & Stormy
50ml dark rum over ice in a highball glass, topped with ginger beer. Squeeze in a wedge of lime. A simple two-ingredient highball that works every time.
Rum Sour
50ml aged rum, 25ml lemon juice, 20ml sugar syrup, optional egg white. Shake dry first to emulsify the egg white, then add ice and shake again. Strain into a rocks glass.
