Top 10 White Rum Drinks with Recipes

What is White Rum

White Rum is nothing but the lighter variant of the dark rum. Unlike the latter, which is aged in charred oak casks, white rum is aged either in stainless steel tanks or plain oak casks, thus rendering it the ‘clear’ look. Also known as ‘silver’ or ‘light’ rum, it is made from molasses and sugarcane juice and has a light sweet flavor.

Being a very popular liqueur around the world, it needs no further introduction. We would rather like to share with you a few of the best mixes, martinis, shots, and cocktails. Here you go.
