What is rum? This one of the noblest strong spirits is well known in all countries of the world. This noble drink of sailors is produced by processing molasses and cane syrup. Then the resulting liquid is usually aged for some time in oak barrels. Basically, rum is produced in the Caribbean, but in India, Australia and in many other countries it is also produced.

Light rum is mainly used in the preparation of cocktails. Also called silver rum or white. But dark and golden rum is suitable for both culinary delights and cocktails. In its pure form, rum is used only for prolonged aging.

Aromatized rum appeared relatively recently and additives with the smell of such fruits as mango, lemon, coconut, and orange are added to its composition.

A strong rum speaks for itself. He is much stronger than the usual forty percent. Some types of this drink reach a fortress of more than 70 percent.

And now, before sharing knowledge on how to properly drink rum, a little bit of history about the drink itself.

It was first made in the XVII century on the Caribbean islands. Usually rum was made in European countries, and it was delivered to Russia in a so-called ready-made form. But with the advent of the Soviet Union, the production of this drink began in the country. The main manufacturer was the Glavspirt plant. But, the so-called rum of Soviet production was not so hot of any quality. For some reason I doubt that at that time there were many experts who knew how to properly drink rum and what it should be, so they bought what they have. Of course, this does not apply to everyone.

And now we will pass directly to how to drink rum correctly. Dark varieties can be drunk while eating a slice of orange or mandarin, which is previously sprinkled with ground cinnamon. According to legend, this method was discovered by pirates of the Caribbean when they hunted for merchant ships. You can also use pineapple, melon, cherry or papaya as an appetizer for this rum. As an accompaniment it is not recommended to use ice to choose coffee or hot chocolate.

As mentioned above, gold varieties of rum are used in the preparation of cocktails. Due to the fact that they do not have a pronounced taste, they are ideal as a basis for fruit cocktails.

I would also like to tell you a little about how to drink liqueur. This drink, as well as cognac, is served before the end of the celebration. Basically, liquor is offered to black strong coffee. By the way, it is also drunk with a small gulp as well as rum, so as not to miss the opportunity to enjoy a unique taste.

In a glass put a few pieces and pour this drink. Liqueurs are also widely used in the preparation of cocktails. But add them you need about one teaspoon. Liqueurs do not lose their delicate taste and when combined with other strong spirits - whiskey, cognac, vodka. You can also add it to milk, ice cream or cream.
