Not all rums are created equal. Dark rum is aged and full-bodied, ideal for warm or spiced drinks. White rum is lighter and cleaner—great for fruity or fizzy mixers. Here are four recipes that show how to match the right rum with the right moment.
White Rum Mojito
Fresh, minty, and light—the ultimate refresher.

Muddle mint and lime. Add rum, syrup, and ice. Shake gently. Pour into a tall glass, top with soda. Garnish with mint and lime.
Dark Rum Hot Chocolate
Thick, indulgent, and boozy.

- 45 ml dark rum
- 150 ml hot chocolate
- Whipped cream (optional)
