The best rum-based cocktails

Rum is one of the most famous and appreciated spirits in the world. Its Caribbean origins, its unbreakable bond with the legendary universe of Corsairs and Pirates, make it a true myth for all fans. If the aged rums are excellent to taste smooth, many younger rums, white or amber, are the basic ingredient for the preparation of tasty cocktails. Mixology is a true art and we will try to discover the best rum-based cocktails, obviously leaving out the banal and obvious Cuba libre.
