Silver, light or white rum is typically light-bodied, clear and has a sweet flavor. That’s why it blends so well with other ingredients in many classic cocktails like mojitos, daiquiris and piña coladas.

This type of rum usually undergoes an aging process inside an oak cask or stainless-steel tank, and then the producers filter it to remove any color trace. It’s regarded as a young liquor because it only ages for a few years. Like many other spirits, the longer it ages, the more complex the flavor profile. 

Light rums from Spanish-speaking regions, such as Puerto Rico, have a subtle note of molasses, while the ones that come from French-speaking islands like Martinique have a sugarcane flavor. Whatever the white rum of your choice, you can’t go wrong if you’re a lover of Tiki cocktails.

Dark and flavored rums have distinctive notes, and they don’t pair well with mixers. Silver rums can work with almost anything, so it’s easy to create tasty cocktails — even if you have zero bartender skills!

You don’t have to stick to classic Tiki recipes. Have fun creating frozen daiquiris with any fruit you have in your pantry or mix the spirit with coconut water for a summery taste. Have you ever thought of mixing light rum with ginger ale and lime? Get creative, and you’ll certainly find the right recipe for you. 

When you want to create a party mood, but are too busy to craft a fancy cocktail, mix white rum and cola. It’s a very simple yet tasty and refreshing drink.
