Dark Rum
Cocktails with Dark Rum
Molasses-forward rum drinks — Dark 'n' Stormy, Jungle Bird, Hurricane, and the Zombie — not light-rum Daiquiris.
Dark rum stays distinct from white, gold, aged, and overproof rum in our matcher so a Zombie does not look “ready” from one bottle. This hub is only recipes that list dark rum.

Dark Rum cocktail FAQ
Can I use aged rum instead of dark rum?
Sometimes, but dark rum is often a blended molasses-forward mix used for color and spice (Dark 'n' Stormy, Hurricane). Aged rum is its own key for Mai Tai and Old Cuban.
What is the difference between this and the rum spirit hub?
The rum spirit hub lists every rum-based cocktail. This page is the subset that specifically calls for dark rum.
