Rum is made from sugarcane and often shows fruit, spice and caramel notes, so it matches food more easily than many people expect.
Light and fresh with seafood
A citrusy drink such as a Daiquiri or a Mojito works with grilled fish, prawns, ceviche and salads. Lime and mint cut through richness and keep things bright.
Spice with spice
Ginger-based drinks and spiced rum go well with barbecue, jerk-style chicken, curries and anything with chilli. The sweetness of a long drink softens the heat.
Tropical fruit for desserts
Pineapple, mango, coconut and lychee drinks suit light desserts and fruit plates. Our Lychee Bliss is a natural partner for exotic fruit.
Dark and warm after dinner
A rum Old Fashioned or a neat pour suits chocolate, coffee, nuts and baked fruit. Keep the serving small.
A simple rule
Match intensity. Light drinks with light food, rich drinks with rich food, and always keep water on the table.
Enjoy responsibly.
