Instructions
Step 1
Choose a cocktail according to the type of rum at your disposal. So any white rum is a transparent drink, slightly flavored, with a mild delicate taste. It is ideal for any cocktail, but works best with fruit juices.
Step 2
Golden rum is of a beautiful amber color with a pleasant heady aroma. Unlike white rum, it is kept in barrels for several years, so its bouquet is richer, the taste is richer. This rum can be harmoniously combined with other alcoholic beverages.
Step 3
Dark rum is the color of old gold. This deep drink with many nuances is obtained from multi-year aging in oak barrels. It should not be added to cocktails, as other drinks can interrupt some of the subtle notes in its bouquet and make it too ordinary.
Step 4
Spiced Rum is a flavored rum that can be either white or golden. Suitable for strong and frozen cocktails.
Step 5
Cashasa is a special kind of Brazilian rum. Pure sugarcane juice is involved in the production process, so this is the sweetest rum. It cannot be replaced by other types of rum, just as it is not a replacement for them.
Step 6
Planter's Punch This name hides a number of different cocktails. There is a rhymed formula for making a planter's punch with a variety of ingredients on hand. It sounds like this in translation: Oh, my fellow thirst, I give you this recipe! Take two parts of the sour - and even a lime! "Add one and a half sweet to them - and three parts of rum. Pour as many as four weak parts, mix everything and drink. Did I give you bad advice?"
Step 7
If you don't want to deal with what is sour and what is weak, then just take the same amount of light and dark rum, lime juice and lemon juice, and any sweet syrup. Don't forget the ice. Place ice cubes in a shaker. Pour all prepared ingredients into it in any order. Close and shake sharply several times. Serve over ice in a tall glass called Collins. Garnish with lime slices.
Step 8
Cuba Libre This cocktail appeared at the very beginning of the 20th century in Havana, in the midst of the Spanish-American War. Its name translates as "Freedom to Cuba!" Prepare a tall glass known as a highball. Fill it to the top with crushed ice. Pour in rum, squeeze out half of the lime juice and top with Coca-Cola. Shake the glass gently several times and you can drink.
Step 9
Mojito One of two rum cocktails associated with the name of Ernesto Hemingway. There are many variations of this cocktail, but the classic one consists of light rum, mint, powdered sugar and lime. In mojito, you should not replace white rum with gold, as the cocktail will lose both its smoky transparency and clarity of mint-citrus taste. Take a glass of collins and squeeze a whole lime into it. Put a teaspoon of powdered sugar and 4 mint leaves, mash the herbs and pour ice into the glass. Pour in the rum, and then fill the glass to the brim with soda. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
Step 10
Pina Colada is perhaps the most popular tropical beach cocktail. Prepared in a blender. The bowl is filled with dark and white rum, coconut milk and pineapple juice with ice. Everything is whipped into a single homogeneous mass. The cocktail is served in a tall glass topped with pineapple slices or half a coconut shell.
Step 11
Kipurrina The simplest cocktail with sweet Brazilian cachasa rum. Into a low thick glass - lowball - squeeze one lime. Add two tablespoons of powdered sugar and stir until a sweet gruel is formed. Fill a glass with crushed ice and pour in the rum. Drink the cocktail while shaking the glass occasionally.
