Rum Cocktails to Make at Home

Compare a built rum-and-cola drink, a mint-and-lime highball, and two blender recipes. The rum style matters: white or light rum and flavored rum are separate choices in the ingredient finder.

  • 45 ml white rum
  • 20 ml fresh lime juice

Before you mix

Use the recipe method to choose equipment before you begin. The Cuba Libre and Mojito are built in the glass; the frozen drinks need a blender. Flavored rums do not automatically replace the white or light rum specified in these recipes.
