Drinks Made With Rum

Rum is a pretty standard ingredient in most daiquiris and a lot of other mixed drinks. Like Vodka, it can be mixed with pretty much anything to create a tasty mixed drink. Rum, on the other hand, typically has a very distinct flavor, and comes in several varieties. Rum can come in a Clear or Amber variety, each of which can be a spiced rum. The basic rum would be a Clear rum, which is used mostly for mixed drinks.

With such a variety of cocktails available it's true that rum is not just for pirates any more.
