Rum can be made anywhere in the world, though its origins can be traced back to the Caribbean, as well as Central and South America. It’s made from molasses, sugar cane juice, sugar cane syrup, or even cane sugar depending on where you are in the world, with each varying production process resulting in incredibly varied flavours. The world of rum has so much to offer, with spiced, dark, white, and agricole rum to choose from. Want to know more about its history and production methods?

What is rum made from?

Rum is made by taking sugar cane juice, syrup, or molasses, fermenting it with yeast, and distilling it. Longer fermentations (sometimes up to a week) encourage the development of more esters (volatile compounds) which smell of pineapple. Due to the variety of rum made all over the world, all kinds of stills will be used from pot, column, and hybrid, even wooden stills in Guyana. It’s then up to the producer to age the rum if they wish, and they might even flavour it, often with vanilla, citrus peel, and spices like cinnamon. If you’d like to know more, take a look at our guide to How Rum Is Made!

What to mix with rum

There are so many famous rum cocktails – Mojito, Daiquiri, Piña Colada, Mai Tai, and so on – that your options are almost endless. Rum-based twists on classic cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan are also proving very popular, though if you’re not feeling up to shaking or stirring then simply mixing it with ginger beer or cola will do. What will work best will of course depend on what type of rum you’re working with, so make sure you find some delicious recipes on our Rum Cocktail Guide.
