Rum is a very popular spirit, particularly during the summer. Creating a rum-based cocktail might require time and a few extra ingredients, but you would learn what rum is and why it is so good and how to construct an innovative cocktail!
Rum Runner
The Rum Runner dates back to the 1950s when it was created at a Tiki bar called Holiday Isle in Islamorada, Florida.
Like many a tropical cocktail, it incorporates rum, banana liqueur, and grenadine.
It also uses blackberry liqueur, considerably less common, which adds depth of flavor and even a slight tannic touch.
