What is The Best Rum for a Frozen Mango Mojito?
This guide to rum is intended to understand each type of rum that exists and based on that, decide which one suits your style!
Light Rum (also called Silver or White Rum)
Visually lighter and with quite a subtle flavor, most light rums are highly filtered, although a few brands don’t filter, so these ones may still have a little coloration. You can put them in your Daiquiri and Mojito’s, they don’t have a strong flavor so can be good in fruity cocktails.
Gold or Amber Rum
These rums can be either aged or not. If aged, this golden-brown rum has a rich taste due to it being stored in wooden or oak barrels, making it fuller-bodied and more characterful than its lighter counterparts. A Pina Colada is great with a golden rum!
Dark Rum
Dark in hue with a much stronger flavor than other rums, coming mostly from the abundance of added spices, they’re heavy in molasses and sometimes caramel tones.
Spiced Rum
You guessed it from the name… it’s spiced! And for every brand, the exact spices used are always kept secret. Caramel and vanilla flavorings are often added too. This rum is mostly gold in color but can even be dark.
After understanding a bit of this guide, you can choose the one that best suits your palate or simply experiment until you find your favorite rum.
