Irresistibly fresh and punchy, this authentic mojito cocktail recipe is a one-way salsa dance to the Caribbean.

Drinks and cocktails

Buyer's guide

鈥榃hite鈥� rums are bottled just after distillation (or are very briefly aged in oak barrels). Better-quality 鈥榞olden鈥� or 鈥榙ark鈥� rums get their colour and more complex flavour from a extended period of ageing in barrels. However, some rums are darkened and flavoured with caramel.

Storage

Rum will keep well for long periods once opened.

Preparation

Rum is great in cocktails, from classic rum punch to the Mai Tai and Singapore Sling. It is also used in desserts, including cakes, ice creams and sauces.

Don鈥檛 substitute dark, white and golden rums in recipes; the flavour can differ widely. Rhum agricole is better drunk neat than as a mixer.
