Would you like to have rum and coke?
No matter which part of the country you are in right now – the answer to that question is most certainly, yes. Imagine yourself with an icy drink in your hand with the bright aroma reaching up to you to take a sip. Rum is the ultimate spirit for every season. While it is undoubtedly delicious, rum can be a bit confusing – it’s made in so many different places and in so many different ways (Agricole, black, white, spiced, etc). On National Rum Day, let’s take a look at some rum cocktails to get you through the day:
