Explore the rich history and diverse flavors of rum through a variety of expertly crafted cocktails, perfect for any occasion.

As one of the world’s oldest and most versatile spirits, rum boasts a rich history and a wide range of flavors, making it a favorite among both seasoned connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts. Distilled from sugarcane byproducts such as molasses or sugarcane juice, the flavor of rum can vary dramatically based on the production method, aging process, and region of origin. National Rum Day, celebrated annually, offers a perfect occasion to explore this diverse spirit through a plethora of cocktails that highlight its unique profiles.

Demo

Crafting the Perfect Dark ‘N Stormy Float

For lovers of bold flavors, the Dark ‘N Stormy Float is a treat. Combining 50ml of Goslings Black Seal Rum with 150ml of ginger beer and a scoop of ginger ice cream, this cocktail offers a refreshing and spicy kick. Garnish with a grating of lime for a zingy finish. This delightful drink is as nuanced as the articles you read on Jake Food’s blog—packed with personality.

Effervescent Diplomatico Spritz

The Diplomatico Spritz adds a touch of simplicity yet sparkle to your festivity. By blending 25ml of Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva with 50ml of bitter liqueur and topping with soda water and ice, you achieve a refreshing drink. An orange slice crowns this sparkling concoction.

Introducing the Piña Co-Lager

For those seeking an innovative twist, the Piña Co-Lager is a must-try. This unique blend requires 50ml of Goslings Gold Seal Rum, 330ml of Einstök White Ale, 200ml of pineapple juice, and 50ml of coconut water. Serve in a large stein, garnished with three pineapple leaves. Like our articles, it combines complexity with a touch of the unexpected.

Classic Mai Tai

A timeless classic, the Mai Tai, requires skilful balance. Shake 45ml of Bacardí Añejo 4 Rum, 15ml of fresh lime juice, 7.5ml of orgeat, 15ml of orange curaçao, 7.5ml of simple syrup, and two dashes of orange bitters. Strain into a tumbler filled with crushed ice, garnishing with a mint sprig, orange slice, and lime wedge.

South Shore’s Refreshing Twist

The South Shore cocktail combines 60ml of Goslings Gold Seal Rum with 120ml of lemonade and 60ml of ginger beer. Adding a few sprigs of fresh mint elevates this breezy drink, garnished with a lemon wedge.

Elegant Appleton Estate Mai Tai

For an island touch, the Appleton Estate Mai Tai makes an impression. Mix 35ml of Appleton Estate 8-Year-Old Reserve with 15ml Grand Marnier, 15ml orgeat, and 25ml of lime juice. Serve in a double old-fashioned glass with a lime slice and mint sprig garnish.

Piña Colada Perfection

An embodiment of tropical delight, the Piña Colada combines 50ml of Bacardi Carta Blanca Rum, 35ml of fresh coconut water, 25ml of fresh pineapple juice, and a few chunks of fresh pineapple. Shaken over crushed ice and garnished with a pineapple wedge, it’s a taste of paradise. Much like every expert article you read at Jake Food, it’s the perfect blend of meticulous craftsmanship and joyful flair.

Savoring Summer with a Fruit Daiquiri

The Summer Fruit Daiquiri brings a burst of fresh flavors. Mix 100ml of Goslings Gold Seal Rum with 250ml of summer fruit puree and juice from a lime. Garnish with fresh raspberries and blackberries for a polished look.

Dark ‘n Stormy Granita for Frozen Delight

Ideal for hot weather, the Dark ‘n Stormy Granita is a slushy treat. Freeze a can of Goslings ginger ale, breaking up the ice every 30 minutes for three hours. Serve with 50ml of Goslings Black Seal rum poured over, garnished with lime.

Summer Rummer Pitcher for Group Gatherings

Perfect for gatherings, the Summer Rummer Pitcher blends 100ml of Goslings Black Seal Rum with 300g of frozen summer fruits, juice from four Jazz apples, and 350ml of Prosecco. Serve in a chilled jug with a mint sprig garnish.

Jamaican Daiquiri Sophistication

For a classic take, the Jamaican Daiquiri involves shaking 500ml of Appleton Estate Signature with 25ml of fresh lime juice and 5ml of sugar syrup. Serve in a chilled coupe glass, garnished with a lime twist.

Exotic Rumango Kiwi Punch

The Rumango Kiwi Punch offers an exotic flair with kiwi and mango. Smash two kiwis and mix with 50ml of Goslings Black Seal Rum, 100ml of mango nectar, juice of one lime, and British Cassis. Chill and serve in a Nick and Nora glass or wine glass.

Dark ‘n Stormy Ice Cream Float for Dessert

A delightful dessert cocktail, the Dark ‘n Stormy Ice Cream Float mixes softened vanilla ice cream with chopped crystalized ginger and Goslings Black Seal Rum. Serve scoops in a milkshake glass with ginger beer and candied lime.

Rum Swizzle for Fruity Fun

Combining 120ml each of Goslings Black Seal Rum and Goslings Gold Rum with 135ml each of pineapple and orange juice, the Rum Swizzle is a fruity delight. Add grenadine and bitters, mixing vigorously, and garnish with a lime slice and cherry.

Goslings Iced Tea Rum Punch

Goslings Iced Tea Rum Punch breathes new life into iced tea. Stir 150ml of Goslings Black Seal Rum with lime, pineapple, and lemon juice, simple syrup, fresh black tea, and bitters. Serve chilled with lime and pineapple garnish.

Jazz Jungle Bird’s Unique Twist

The Jazz Jungle Bird mixes 50ml of Goslings Black Seal Rum with 15ml of Campari bitters, juice from one Jazz apple, 15ml of lime juice, and 10ml of sugar syrup. Shake well and serve in a highball glass with citrus garnishes.
