        For hundreds of years, rum and whiskey have been fierce rivals competing for the attention of drinkers and bartenders.

        Rum was America’s first signature spirit made along the East Coast in the Colonies before it was unseated by, you guessed it, whiskey. And across the country, rum and whiskey continue to battle it out on liquor store shelves and cocktail lists.

        Recently, rum has been showing up in traditional whiskey drink recipes, including the Old-Fashioned, the Highball and the Manhattan. And some classic rum cocktail recipes, like the Presidente, are being updated with ingredients traditionally used in whiskey drinks. While purists may prefer it neat, rum’s deep flavor works perfectly in all of these concoctions.

        So, mix up the following recipes today. Cheers!
