Depending on the brand, you might wish to also add some citrus for flavor. As a bonus, all those electrolytes in coconut water may help stave off a hangover. A classic highball, the combination of bittersweet cola with funky rum dates back at least years, possibly to the Spanish-American War.
As for why we drink rum and Coke, and not rum and Pepsi, we may have a popular s song to thank. This choice is especially important for rum, as there can be major differences between different rums.
The variation is partly because rum is just defined as a spirit created from sugar. Most rum is made from molasses, but cane sugar can be used instead and is in some cases. There are three main types of rum — light, dark, and spiced. Spiced rum, as the name suggests, has spices added in. For example, Jamaican rum is likely to be dark or golden, with fairly intense flavors, while Cuban rum is often lighter.
Tradition dictates that rum is enjoyed with Coke, rather than Pepsi or off-brand soda, but really the highball drink has a similar flavor regardless of the cola that you use. Try combining a craft cola with white rum or spiced rum and see the flavor differences.
Even just using cola with real sugar can make a world of difference. Pay attention to the ingredient ratio too. Using too much cola buries the flavor of the rum almost entirely. For any other type of rum, consider a ratio like three parts cola to one part rum or even two to one.
Coconut water and rum is an interesting choice. The combination has a distinctly tropical flavor, without the overwhelming heaviness and sweetness that is present in many tropical rum cocktails. The juice is a bright and vibrant mixer for rum, one that also helps to balance the characteristics of the rum. The catch is that you really should be using fresh pineapple juice, which means juicing the pineapple yourself. The flavor profile of the canned stuff is all wrong.
If canned pineapple juice is your only option, consider making a cocktail instead, such as a pina colada. Using more ingredients in your drink means that the quality of any single component will matter less. The oversight is a shame, really, as orange juice and rum do combine well. The citrus has a similar balancing effect to pineapple juice, while still allowing you to enjoy the complexity of the rum.
This combination is much better if you rely on freshly squeezed orange juice, rather than a bottle from a store. The end result is well worth the extra effort. Bold, spicy and just a touch sweeter, dark rum gives a mysterious edge to both classic and contemporary cocktails. Here, seven of our favorite dark rum drinks to get you excited about the spirit.
