Nobody ever said National Rum Day had to be all buccaneer grog and tiki drink ( even though those are both fun ) . Sure , pirate accents are hum - arrrr - ous , and one visit to a tiki prevention proves it to be the pinnacle of western drinking civilization , but rum is much more various than just those beachy pursuits .
In fact , give that it can be a brown pot likker or a clear one and both are beloved , you could say rum ’s diversity is superior to whiskey ’s . The latter is really only enjoyable after taking on the lucky tones of the cask , but rum runs the full flavor spectrum .
To prove this , here are many labels of BACARDÍ ® rummy swapped for the key fixings in classical cocktails .

Instead of a moscow mule…
summer is perfect for a scuff . Everyone loves a muddling of fluxing lime , ginger beer , and vodka in a gorgeous atomic number 29 mug . But oh , no ! You do n’t have any vodka !
Do n’t stumble . Fill your mug with this aged rum for an easy replacement .
HAVANA CLUB®™ Rum Mule
Instead of an old fashioned…
Some people have problem with gluten . Those people tend to avoid whisky ( although , skilful news ! Some of you might be able-bodied to tope beverages distilled from those grains with no problem ) , especially rye . But everybody deserves an old fashioned – except that one fellow at the party who did n’t fetch anything . Did you show up empty - handed ? No ? Then have an onetime fashioned .

Instead of a negroni…
Liqueurs are cryptical things whose look bloom in cocktails bulked up by more familiar spirit . And when the spirit in inquiry is a blend of five rums , that ’s a lot of tiers on which Campari can climb .
BANKS® East India Negroni
Instead of a Tom Collins…
A Tom Collins is basically gin spiked with effervescent lemonade , and a favourite among the summer set in evening as they gaze out upon the bay and talk about things like stock markets and boat shoes . This variant uses a white rum , so guests might not even notice the remainder . But those that will inquire in astonishment at the vanished gin kick . Are you some kind of beverage magician ? Or maybe they wo n’t , but at least it ’s a alteration from the talk of the town of boat shoes .
GRAN RESERVA Maestro Tom Collins
Instead of a scotch neat…
Now we ’re into the intense competitor . Mano a mano . Lengua a lengua . Espíritu a espíritu . All other distractions have been removed , and a battle of both mind and body begins now between rum and scotch .
There ’s no drink unsubdivided than malt whiskey neat . The only affair complicated about it is its name , which you have to append a modifier to so the bartender eff not to honeyfuggle with your drink by adding ice or water . But can rum – square rum – compete ?
BACARDÍ ® is unforced to bet so with FACUNDO ™ PARAISO , from their signature series combine from the rare and oldest rum in the kin ’s private appeal . Named in honor of the recording label ’s laminitis , who aged his rum in oak cask ( much like a certain Scottish liquor ) , this rum repose in special old cognac casks . Drinking it any way but neat would be to make worry in paradise .
