It may not have the depth and character of some of the more “serious” varieties of flavored and spiced rums, but coconut rum holds a revered place in the pantheon of fruity drinks. It's not highly alcoholic, and diluting it even further with soda or fruit juice means it's great for daytime sipping. 4. Can you drink coconut rum by itself?

These ice cubes are made with canned lychee nuts and maraschino cherries and will have your drinks chilled in no time. They look like eyes and taste delicious too, thanks to the sweet fruit flavors inside them. Plus, the sweet and oaky taste of the punch balances out the sourness of the eyeballs! Ingredients Made with lychee nectar — This lychee mojito is made with lychee nectar, which means it is easy to make any time of the year, and much less expensive than using fresh lychees. A single serving of rum is considered to be one shot or one jigger. A shot is generally 1.5 ounces or about 42 grams of liquid. There are zero carbs in a single serving of rum and no fiber. This beverage is distilled, so there is no longer any naturally-occurring sugar and usually, there are no added sugars. 4. Why is sugar added to rum? In the full spirit of Wetherspoon tradition, we have added a selection of NEW spirits to our ever-growing drinks menu. Whatever your tipple, we have something for everyone.

Cheers!

Shake vigorously until well chilled, and then pour into chilled martini glasses. Garnish with the skewered lychees and lemon twists and serve.

Inspired by the coasts of Cornwall and the Caribbean. Twin Fin begins life on the warm sands of the Caribbean, crossing the Atlantic to land on the rugged coast of Cornwall. The epic result of two years creative experimentation to craft a rum like no other. If you make these, please take a moment to rate the recipe and leave a comment below.

Manquila (15% ABV) is the latest creation from Manchester-based craft distillery Zymurgorium (makers of Realm of the Unicorn and Sweet Violet gin-based liqueurs) to be served at Wetherspoon. What is Malibu rum? Malibu is a coconut-flavored liqueur made with Caribbean rum. It's not technically a rum because the alcohol level is low (21% ABV) and it's made with added sugar. Rum must be 80 proof (40% ABV) to be legally considered rum, and it has no added sugar. 3. Is coconut rum alcoholic? First a secret spice recipe including orange and vanilla is distilled in a flame-fired Cornish copper pot still, then blended with Jamaican pot still rum and a light, column-still rum from the Dominican Republic. Twin Fin is then finished with a touch of Pedro Ximenez sherry for natural balance and rested over charred oak chips for a rich golden warmth.Duppy White is a vibrant celebration of Jamaica and its influence on the world. Produced and co-founded with musical pioneer and British rapper Kano (from East Ham, London), this is a rum five years in the making, with flavours of mango, pimento and fresh thyme – a 100-per-cent Jamaican flavour. To craft Twin Fin, self-taught master distiller Tarquin Leadbetter (of Tarquin’s Gin) has combined his experience of distilling botanicals with his love of experimentation and innovation. The finest Caribbean rums are carefully selected from distilleries across the Caribbean, then blended together with fruits and spices from around the world, in the north Cornwall coast distillery, established in 2012, to produce rich, tropical and refreshing Twin Fin rums. Lime Juice: You can use bottled lime juice but if you have fresh limes, use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best quality. Smirnoff Mango & Passionfruit Twist flavoured vodka (37.5% ABV) is bold, tropical and deliciously juicy. When the sun comes out, everyone gets a little overexcited in the UK.
