Free Rum Cocktail Recipes and Mixes

About rum
Rum is distilled from fermented sugar-cane juice, fermented black treacle, or a mixture of these. It ranges from an almost characterless flavour to a full-bodied, and colour ranges from white to very dark. As a rule the lighter the colour then the lighter the flavour, but in fact the colour has nothing to do with the flavour since it comes from the added caramel. The real differences are caused by variations in ingredient, method of fermentation, and distillation as well a maturing. So therefore it is important to know what kind to use
Navy Rum – A light bodied. Dark golden colour rum with a delicate flavour, and aroma. It is of 43% alcohol

Jamaica Rum – A darker-colour rum with a stronger flavour and aroma with about the same alcohol content as Navy

Demerara Rum – A very dark rum with a very strong flavour and aroma

Then there are the white rums, which are lighter in flavour.
