Another Friday – another Friday selection. Opening new horizons – today I present to you a small selection of cocktails, which include rum and cranberry juice. Well, according to tradition, I will say a little about this wonderful and beloved drink. Rum is a strong (usually 40% vol.) alcoholic drink that is obtained by distilling sugar cane juice. White rum, in particular, lends itself well to many cocktails, lending them light notes of almond, vanilla and tropical fruits.
Undoubtedly, the most popular rum cocktails are Mojito and Pina Colada, which have become bar classics, but they definitely deserve special attention. As for cranberry juice, everything is simple here – an ingenious ingredient for many cocktails, as evidenced by the following cocktails.

This is how the “female” selection turned out today / Of course, you will have to tinker with the last cocktail, but you can immediately prepare a large portion and arrange fun, so to speak, competitions for drinking speed. What else is there to add? Undoubtedly, Bacardi rum cocktails are popular today, as they are well promoted, but I would still recommend the rum of the good old company Havana Club. With Morse, I think you will figure it out yourself. In Ukraine, the ideal option is Sandora juices. That’s all. Have a nice weekend, read Rum. The main thing to remember is that: excessive alcohol consumption harms your health, but makes you so happy 🙂 Bye!
