Why Choose Rum
Rum, distilled from sugarcane juice or byproducts like molasses, and aged in oak barrels, is a significant part of Caribbean culture. While produced globally, a trip to the Cayman Islands would be incomplete without a bit of rum. Consider trying the Cayman’s own Seven Fathoms Rum.
Rum was first distilled in the 1600s in the Caribbean when slaves on sugarcane plantations recognized that the molasses that resulted from sugarcane refinement could be fermented into alcohol.
The smooth, rich texture and taste of rum makes it a favorite drink, especially during the winter and cold season. When seeking a cocktail that makes your spirits high and benefits your health, choose rum.
Different Grades of Rum for Different Purposes
All rums are not the same. The various grades of drums are classified based upon color. Traditionally, lighter rums are used for mixed drinks while golden and dark varieties are enjoyed with ice, straight, or when cooking. Today, these grades are used more often in cocktails, and premium rums are purchased for drinking on its own.
Warm Up After a Late-Night Dip
No matter the time of year, when you run into an air-conditioned house after a late-night swim, the chills will immediately follow. Warm up quickly with the rum of your choice.
Keep the Ticker Ticking
A natural blood thinner, rum can be beneficial to cardiovascular function – just remember that moderation, as with all things, is key.
Surprising Nutritional Benefits
Rum, surprisingly, provides several nutrients including copper, iron, manganese, phosphorus, zinc, Vitamin B1, and potassium.
It Takes Quality Rum for a Genuine Daiquiri
If your idea of a daiquiri is a frozen, sweet, strawberry alcoholic drink, you’d be surprised to learn that you’ve never had the genuine thing.
A classic daiquiri can be traced back centuries and includes three simple ingredients. While you only need rum, lime, and simple syrup, the ratio of ingredients is integral to the successful creation of a real daiquiri. The rum should be at least a mid-range quality and white or clear. Don’t use dark rum for a daiquiri.
A frozen daiquiri, if that’s your thing, is made with pureed ice to have the consistency of a smoothie and comes in a variety of fruity flavors.
