Dark Rum

Dark rum cocktails

Molasses-forward rum drinks — Dark 'n' Stormy, Jungle Bird, Hurricane, and Zombie — not light-rum Daiquiris.

Dark rum cocktails here are the recipes that list dark rum as its own bottle, not a white-rum Mojito with caramel coloring. The easy highball is the Dark 'n' Stormy (dark rum, ginger beer, lime). Campari and pineapple turn it into a Jungle Bird. Passion fruit and citrus make a Hurricane; the Zombie stacks dark rum with other rum styles. Aged-rum Mai Tais stay on the rum spirit hub because those recipes do not say dark rum. For that Stormy next to a Daiquiri, Mojito, and Cuba Libre, see easy rum cocktails.

Dark Rum cocktail FAQ

What dark rum cocktails can I make at home?

Dark 'n' Stormy, Jungle Bird, Hurricane, and Zombie are the four recipes that name dark rum. The Stormy is the easy two-bottle highball; the others are fruit-forward tiki builds.

What to mix with dark rum for an easy cocktail?

Ginger beer and lime for a Dark 'n' Stormy. Aged rum is a different pantry key (Mai Tai, Old Cuban) and will not mark these four ready on its own.
