Rum in Cocktails

Rum is a versatile spirit. It can be enjoyed both neat and in cocktails. It is a vital ingredient in several classic drinks, as well as in newer cocktail creations. Here are suggestions for three fantastic cocktails, made with Barceló Imperial. It is a rum made in the Dominican Republic, aged for up to ten years on oak casks. The rum tastes of caramel, vanilla, toasted nuts and wood - hence making it an excellent rum for mixing cocktails with. In Sweden Barceló Imperial can be ordered here. DO

Rum & Rye Sazerac

Rum & Rye Sazerac

The Sazerac is one of our favourite cocktails, and we usually do it with a split base of Cognac and rye. However in this version we switch Cognac for some very nice Brugal 1888 rum. It has a “dry” character that goes so well in this stiff cocktail where sweetness somehow should be kept low. The rum does add an interesting and refreshing twist to this classic cocktail, taking it into an ever so slightly lighter direction.

We find this drink rather elegant, with its pale colour and its subtle ingredients. Coconut water is rather unused as a cocktail ingredient, but it works beautifully we think. It is sweet and has a lot of coconut taste, but it doesn't come with the thick creamy (sometimes overwhelming) textures that coconut milk does.⁠ ⁠ Also the chocolate notes here are so good. It's not a whole lot of chocolate liqueur used, but still it shines through in a much delightful way. The lime juice balances the swee

It's kind of a Pina Colada though not quite. It's made with coconut water rather than coconut milk/cream and we love how this refreshes an otherwise very heavy and sometimes overwhelming classic.⁠ ⁠ We also especially like the addition of sherry. It gives the drink a certain dryness, plus it helps taking down the ABV. ⁠ ⁠ A good way to start 2021 we think!⁠ Recipe by Kate Houser⁠ Ingredients: 1,5 oz white rum⁠ 1,25 oz pineapple juice⁠ 1 oz coconut water⁠ 0,25 oz fino sherry⁠ 0,25 oz fresh lime

For a while we've been wanting to mix a really luxurious, tequila-based cocktail. We've been looking for just the right, elegant enough recipe, as well as a high quality tequila to base it on.⁠ ⁠ In Josefine Sondlo's and Madeleine Rapp's book “Tequila & Mezcal” we found Ivy Mix's recipe for the Palo Negro. A complex drink even though theres only three alcoholic ingredients in it. A large amount of tequila, a big splash of spicy palo cortado sherry and then another splash of dark rum. Two distinc
