      The Next Generation of Rum Cocktails

      From Our Partners

      If you like drinking rum, you need to try these refreshing and innovative cocktail recipes.

      Ad by Bacardi
      Updated Aug. 16, 2019 11:37AM EDT / Published Aug. 02, 2019 3:06PM EDT 

      For the last 20 years, if you asked for a rum drink in a bar you were most likely served a Rum & Coke, a Mojito, a Piña Colada or a Daiquiri. These four drinks have been such phenomenal best sellers that they’ve dominated cocktail lists and the overall rum category. 

      But recently other rum drinks have been breaking through and showing up on drink menus across the country. Some of them are new concoctions, others are twists on cocktail recipes. It only makes sense given that rum is so versatile and mixes with a wide range of ingredients, everything from citrus and herbs to vermouth.

      So, if you love drinking rum, you should give these three cocktails a try. Cheers!
