White Rum

Easy white rum cocktails

Light-rum drinks you can mix tonight — Mojito, Piña Colada, Cuba Libre, and Hemingway Daiquiri — from a clean white rum.

Easy white rum cocktails in this catalog are the recipes that name white rum, not the classic Daiquiri that only says rum. The two-minute highballs are the Mojito (mint, lime, sugar, soda) and the Cuba Libre (cola, lime). Blended fruit is a Piña Colada; grapefruit and maraschino make a Hemingway Daiquiri or Hemingway Special. Hurricane, Yellow Bird, Between the Sheets, and Long Island Iced Tea also call for a white-rum pour among other bottles. For a four-drink easy rum list that also includes the classic Daiquiri, see easy rum cocktails.

White Rum cocktail FAQ

What are easy white rum cocktails?

Mojito and Cuba Libre are the easy highballs: white rum plus mint-lime or cola-lime. Piña Colada is pineapple and coconut cream. Hemingway Daiquiri is the shaken sour with grapefruit and maraschino.

What to mix with white rum besides mint?

Cola and lime (Cuba Libre), pineapple and coconut (Piña Colada), or lime, grapefruit, and maraschino (Hemingway Daiquiri). The classic Daiquiri in this catalog lists rum, not white rum, so it lives on the rum spirit hub.
