A short note on rum cocktails
Rum has two temperaments. Light white rum – Plantation 3 Stars, Havana Club 3-Year – is the mixer for Mojitos and Daiquiris, grassy and bright. Aged amber rum – Appleton Estate from Jamaica, say – is slower, darker, nutty, the base for Dark & Stormies and the sweeter end of the tiki cabinet. Both earn their place on any serious home bar. Pick one of each to start, and you are set for a summer of long drinks.
