Best Rum For A Mojito?
When it comes to mixing up a delicious rum cocktail, the type of rum you choose can make all the difference. If you’re looking for a light rum that will add subtle flavor to your drink without overpowering it, there are a few things to keep in mind.
First, take a look at the color of the rum. Light rums tend to be pale in color, while dark rums have a richer amber hue.
Next, give the rum a sniff. Light rums tend to be less sweet and have a more subdued aroma than their dark counterparts.
Finally, take a sip of the rum neat or on the rocks before adding it to your cocktail. You’re looking for a smooth, slightly sweet flavor that will complement the other ingredients in your drink.
With these tips in mind, choosing the perfect light rum for your next cocktail will be a breeze!
