Flavoured Rum

lavoured rum refers to a type of rum that has been infused with distinctive flavours, typically derived from fruits, spices, or other natural ingredients. Unlike traditional rum, which offers a pure molasses or sugarcane profile, flavoured rum introduces bold and often sweet notes such as coconut, pineapple, mango, coffee, or chocolate. deal for mixing or sipping over ice, flavoured rum appeals to those seeking a more playful and aromatic alternative to classic rum.

Popular fruity options include the Piña Colada, made with coconut rum, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut, and the Strawberry Daiquiri, which combines strawberry-flavoured rum with lime juice and sugar syrup. For something visually striking, the Blue Hawaiian blends pineapple rum with blue curaçao and coconut cream, while banana rum works well in a Frozen Banana Daiquiri. Refreshing choices like Mojito variations—using mango or passionfruit rum—and the Cantaloupe Mojito offer a zesty twist on the Cuban favourite. Flavoured rum also enhances bold blends such as the Mai Tai, Rum Punch, and even dessert-style drinks like the Rum and Coke Float. Whether it's coconut, mango, banana, coffee, or spiced rum, each flavour brings a unique character to cocktails, making them ideal for summer gatherings, beach parties, or simply elevating a quiet evening at home.

Rum comes in a wide variety of styles, each offering distinct flavours, colours, and uses. White rum is light and crisp, often used in cocktails like mojitos and daiquiris. Gold rum, also known as amber rum, is aged longer and has mellow notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice. Dark rum is deeply aged, rich, and full-bodied, ideal for sipping or adding depth to bold cocktails. Spiced rum is infused with warming spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, making it a flavourful choice for mixed drinks. Overproof rum has a much higher alcohol content and is typically used sparingly in punches or flambé recipes. Additionally, agricole rum, made from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses, offers a grassy, earthy profile and is popular in French-speaking Caribbean regions. These diverse styles make rum one of the most versatile spirits in the world, perfect for everything from tropical cocktails to refined sipping. Even for those that seek something very different and like Flavoured rum, these can come in a wide range of popular flavours like pineapple, cherry or banana!
