3 nice and easy rum serves to try at home
Rum drinkers, this one’s for you
Whether you’re cooking up a storm or hosting a casual dinner for two, you’re going to need great drinks.
We believe recreating cocktails at home doesn’t need to be complicated. All you need are a few ingredients and simple recipes (and a great playlist!). Our team of bartenders have shared their 3 sip-licious rum cocktails that are easy to make at home so you can focus on making memorable moments…
01.
Rum Old Fashioned
Why have a standard Old Fashioned, when you can mix it up with a great, aged rum? Try this version with a different base, sugar and bitters for a new twist on an iconic cocktail.
INGREDIENTS
50ml Ron Zacapa 23 Rum
2 dashes of chocolate bitters
Dark sugar syrup
Ice cubes
GARNISH
A twist of grapefruit
METHOD
Stir all ingredients with ice and pour over fresh cubes in an Old Fashioned glass. Garnish with a twist of grapefruit, serve and enjoy.
02.
Apple Highball
This is an easy long drink to serve for any occasion. You can pretty much use any base spirit, but we prefer it with rum.
INGREDIENTS
45ml Rum
60ml freshly pressed apple juice
90ml carbonated tonic water
GARNISH
Lemon twist or slices of apple
METHOD
Add all ingredients to a Collins glass with ice, finishing with the tonic water. You can choose to sub the tonic with ginger ale or ginger beer if you prefer. Stir just to combine and garnish with a lemon twist or slice of apple. Cheers!
03.
Mojito
Ah, the Mojito. A popular cocktail and for a good reason. Fresh mint meets lime, rum and sugar. What’s not to love?
INGREDIENTS
45ml white rum
20ml lime juice
20ml 1:1 simple syrup
GARNISH
6 mint leaves + 1 nice sprig for garnish
METHOD
Add the mint leaves to the palm of your hand and slap with the other hand (like a clap!). Tear the leaves and add them to a Collins glass. Add the rum, lime and sugar, then stir with your spoon. Add some ice and stir again. Top up with chilled sparkling water or club soda and stir to combine. Finish with a mint sprig. Done.
