This is the perfect roundup for those who enjoy Pina Coladas and other rum-based cocktails.

You can choose from fruity drinks such as the Hurricane or Banana Daiquiri or elegant drinks such as a Rum Old Fashioned.
Banana Daiquiri
This modern twist on the classic drink is a tribute to these topics. This drink combines aged Rum, creme de Banane liqueur, and fresh lime juice. It has a classic shaken Daiquiri flavor with just a hint of banana flavor.

Rum Old Fashioned
An Old Fashioned with Rum? It would be best if you tried it. You may find the combination of dark rum and demerara syrup and allspice drams, orange bitters, allspice dram, allspice dram and Angostura bitters suits your mood better than a classic Bourbon Oldfashioned. It’ll make a great addition to your spirit-forward cocktail menu.
One Last Midnight
This spirit-forward Rum Manhattan is a Meaghan Dorman’s Dear Irving take on the rum Manhattan. The rich and bitter Punt y Mes and Cocchi Torino, two types of vermouth, add richness to the drink. A dash of Islay scotch adds smoke, and a pinch of coffee salt gives it a subtle yet distinctive flavor. Serve the drink over a large cube of ice to enhance its elegance.
Canchanchara
The Canchanchara, a Cuban historical treasure, hails from Trinidad. If you don’t have the time to make it to Cuba, you can use a regular glass mug to serve the mixture of white Rum and lime juice, honey, and soda water.

Pina Colada
This creamy classic, a mixture of light Rum and cream of coconut, pineapple, and lime juices, dates back to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where it was first created. Our version skips the blender and instead uses a shake with pebble ice.
