Rum Cocktails

From bright Daiquiris to tropical tiki pours, explore rum cocktails by style and difficulty.

Showing 23 recipes.

Rum is the most variable spirit in the home bar. White rum gives you bright, clean drinks like the Daiquiri and Mojito; aged rum brings vanilla, oak and a richer body for an Old Fashioned riff or a Dark and Stormy; overproof rum sits at the heart of most tiki classics.

This category covers all three styles. The recipes lean tropical and citrus-led, but spirit-forward stirred rum drinks are in here too — start with a Daiquiri and work outward from there.

Who it's for

Anyone who likes their drinks bright, fruity or long. Rum cocktails travel well — they're the natural choice for summer, holidays and any gathering by water.

How to choose

If you only have one bottle of white rum, start with a Daiquiri or Mojito. With aged rum, try a Dark and Stormy or a rum Old Fashioned. For full tropical mode, work through the tiki list.
