Instructions
Step 1
Rum is a strong alcoholic beverage that is obtained by distilling syrup from sugarcane or molasses and then aging the raw material in barrels. Depending on the variety, country of origin and aging period, rum is divided into light, or white, gold and dark. Rum of increased strength and a particularly mature drink of the premium category should be noted separately. All of these options are consumed and served in different ways.
Step 2
Serve pure rum for a digestive, that is, after a meal. Cocktails containing this drink are sometimes served as an aperitif. Pour light and gold rum into thick-walled "old-fashioned" glasses and accompany with a wedge of lemon or lime. Ice can be added to glasses.
Step 3
Moderately aged ordinary dark rum can be used with sliced oranges and sprinkled with cinnamon. It goes very well with hot chocolate. Serve in wide glasses. The degree of cooling depends on your taste.
Step 4
A specially aged dark rum is poured into wide glasses for no more than two fingers and served without ice. The nuances of aroma and taste can be felt only in a drink at room temperature. It is good to supplement such rum with dry cookies, sweet fruits, coffee and cigars.
Step 5
Be sure to try making a rum cocktail. The simplest is Cuba Libre, which combines light rum and cola. In a shaker mix 1 to 2 white rum and cola, add crushed ice and lemon or lime juice. Pour the mixture into a tall glass, garnish with a thin lime slice and a straw.
Step 6
Serve the classic Daiquiri for the aperitif. It perfectly refreshes and stimulates the appetite. Mix 30 ml each of light rum and lemon juice with 15 ml of sugar syrup. Add a little egg white to improve the appearance of your shake. Pour the ingredients into a blender, mix, pour into a wide saucer glass and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
Step 7
The favorite cocktail of many girls is the famous Pina Colada. To make it, pour 50 ml of light rum, 25 ml of coconut milk and 100 ml of pineapple juice into a blender. Beat the mixture for 5-6 seconds so that it does not stratify. Pour into a cocktail glass, garnish with a pineapple or orange wedge. Serve with a straw and stirring stick.
