Rum Recipes

Rum will be forever associated with the West Indies, its true home, and the Royal Navy, its second home. Rum comes in various clours and strengths - and the strong versions are pretty powerful. White rum, which is colourless, was originally known as Cuban rum.

Locally made rum is an excellent base for cocktails because its flavour blends particularly well with fruit juices and other spirits. It is the base for one of the great cocktails, the Daiquiri.
