Неизвестно, кто и когда придумал коктейли.You shouldn't think that only an experienced barista can make a real cocktail. Some vintage drinks really require skills, special equipment, a keen eye and a firm hand. But in general, cooking them is not so difficult. In this article you will find recipes for cocktails with rum (at home it is not that difficult to implement them). A few words should be said about this main ingredient. Rum can be drunk and solo - with ice or just like that. But this mainly refers to a darker, more burning variety, with a harsh aroma of burnt oak and a characteristic woody taste. And there are still bright and golden subspecies of rum. They have a milder taste and less expressive aroma. Rum goes well with juices, soda, cream, which makes it a popular ingredient in cocktails.
"Mojito" and a variation on his subject
Говорят, этой смесью из мяты, лайма, cane sugar and strong distillate in the sixteenth century were treated with scurvy seamen. And now Mojito has become so popular a cocktail that its non-alcoholic version was invented. Let's first prepare a classic sample. This is the recipe for cocktails with rum, which is implemented by the "build" method. The word translated from English means "to build." That is, we create a cocktail already in a glass, which is necessarily big and high - highball.
Lime cut into circles.From mint tear off fifteen leaves. Leave the tip of the sprig and one circle of lime for decoration. The rest is in highball. Pour there 15 milliliters of sugar syrup. All thoroughly shred. Fill the glass with crushed ice. Fill with 50 ml of light rum and one hundred milliliters of soda. Decorate with a sprig of mint and lime.
And now the Apple variation of Apple Mojito.As components that pour mint leaves, lime slices, sugar and ice, not a hundred, but 50 milliliters of rum is introduced into the cocktail. The rest is apple juice (30 ml), syrup (20 ml) and cider (50 ml).
Cuba Libre
According to legend, this drink was born becausetoast raised for the liberation of the island from the Spaniards. This historic event happened in 1898. And the second important ingredient - Coca-Cola - appeared on the island at the very beginning of the twentieth century. For Cuba Libre, you need real rum. Cocktails (recipes are simple and complex, we consider) based on it are always distinguished by a bright rich flavor.
Peel off half a lime.In highball squeeze juice. Throw back and removed the peel. Fill a two-thirds glass with crushed ice. Pour fifty milliliters of Cuban rum and 100 ml of Coca-Cola. Decorate the glass with a circle of lime. Stir and serve with straws.
"Mai-Tai"
This is the rum cocktail recipe for whichneed bar equipment, at least a shaker. The name of the drink is not English, as you might think. This is not My Thailand, the spelling is different: Mai Tai. The name is Thai, which means good. But the cocktail was born in Oakland (California, USA) in 1944.
Fill the shaker with ice.Pour there for thirty milliliters of light and dark varieties of rum. Add quite a bit, 10 ml of almond syrup, as well as 15 ml of orange liqueur. We peel one lime and squeeze the juice into a shaker. Now everything is well whipped. Cocktail glass filled with ice. Strain the contents from the shaker. Stir with a high spoon. Decorate with a sprig of mint and a cocktail cherry.
"Hot Orange"
This is another popular drink in whichused light rum "Bacardi". Cocktails, the recipes of which we give here, do not have to be refreshing. There are hot mixes. Here's one of them. Of the six strawberries leave half the berries. Rest rest in a blender with thirty milliliters of syrup. You can take a strawberry or orange - the dominant note in the taste of the cocktail will depend on it. We transfer the mass from the blender to the saucepan. A hundred milliliters of orange juice and half the amount of Bacardi rum. Put the saucepan on a small fire. Heat the contents, stirring constantly. But in no case can not bring the mixture to a boil! Let's transfer cocktail to a thick-walled glass goblet. Decorate with half strawberries.
"Jellyfish"
White rum cocktail recipes rarelydo without this very beautiful drink, which in appearance resembles a creature from the depths of the sea. Its secret is the different density of ingredients, with the result that they do not merge with each other.
At the bottom of the glass "with the waist" pour the Malibu liqueur -twenty milliliters. Then carefully add the same amount of Cointreau. It is allowed to replace it with any other orange liqueur. Next, pour the white rum - also 20 ml. From above we drip slightly two liqueurs: “Beyliz” and “Blue Curioso”. It is customary to drink a cocktail in one gulp, because from the swaying of the glass the delicate balance of the components of the “Medusa” is broken.
"Pigna Colada"
This popular drink has not only found itsnon-alcoholic version - its coconut-pineapple smell embodied in shampoos and deodorants. There are still disputes over who invented the “Pinya Colada”. Maybe it was a recipe for cocktails with rum, which the pirates of the Caribbean knew? But in Puerto Rico they firmly believe that “Pigna Colada” was invented in 1954 by Ramon Marrero. The city even has a memorial plate to the legendary bartender. It was he who found the optimal proportions of dark rum, pineapple juice and coconut milk. If the home component of the last component can not be found, you can use the Malibu liqueur.
Roma and coconut milk take thirtymilliliters. Pineapple juice will need half as much. All whisk in a shaker and filter in a tall glass with ice. There are variations on the theme “Pina Colada” - with cream (10 percent fat, 15 milliliters) or a ball of ice cream without flavoring fillers.
Grog
Paradoxically, it is precisely in the fight against generalalcoholism among the English sailors was born this recipe. Cocktails with rum crew did not give. But each sailor was given the daily rate of pure distillate for the prevention of scurvy. Admiral Edouard Vernon ordered to dilute the rum with water by half. And in order to improve the taste, sweet spices were added to the solution: half of cinnamon sticks, two cloves, a pinch of cardamom.
First boil two glasses of water.Dip in her spices. Add two tablespoons of sugar (preferably cane, brown). Let us boil for another five minutes so that the spices have time to convey their flavor to the water. Turn off the fire. Let's wait a minute. Fill in still hot water a hundred and fifty milliliters of dark rum. At the bottom of four cups put a circle of lemon. Spill water. In the recipe, many later made their own adjustments. So, water can be replaced by black tea brewing.
Rum Fruit Cocktails
Recipes often contain smoothie descriptions.Such cocktails are not only uplifting, but also useful due to a fairly weighty fruit component. As an example, we suggest you prepare a citrus drink with kiwi and rum. From the equipment we need only a blender.
With two small kiwi cut off the peel.Grind the flesh, leaving a few pieces for decoration. Gruel laid out in two glasses for martini or shots. Add a hundred milliliters of light rum, 80 ml of orange and pineapple juice. Add forty milliliters of passion fruit syrup.
Here is another example: “Pacha Ibiza”.In a blender, knead two kiwis without skin, 25 ml of sugar syrup, fifty milliliters of dark rum, one hundred and sixty grams of crushed ice and two tablespoons of cherry jam. Pour homogeneous mass into a tall glass, decorate with two cocktail cherries. Served with a straw.
"Long Island"
Some Roma cocktail recipes leadthe story of the "dry law" in the States. Then in the establishments served drinks, externally similar to tea, but containing something stronger. One of these cocktails is the "Long Island". To prepare it is very simple, no equipment is needed.
Объемный высокий бокал заполняем кубиками льда.Pour alcohol: fifteen milliliters of light rum, vodka, gin, tequila and Cointreau liqueur. This devilish mixture is flavored with juice from a quarter of a lemon and thirty grams of sugar syrup. Earlier, during the “dry law”, a glass to the top was filled with cold black tea. Later the tradition changed. Now "Long Island" is drunk with the classic "Coca-Cola."
"Daiquiri": classic and variations
Этот коктейль изобрел в конце девятнадцатого века American Jenningson Cox. A mining engineer worked in Cuba, near the town of Daiquiri, and could fully appreciate the qualities of the local rum. Cox got the idea to mix this distillate with lime juice and cane sugar. A very refreshing and tasty drink came out.
To cook the classic "Daiquiri", you needmix in a shaker crushed ice, sixty grams of light rum (preferably Ronrik, Cacique or Captain Morgan Carte Blanche), ten milliliters of orange liqueur, 15 g of lime juice and a teaspoonful of sugar. Beat up to form at the top of the foam.
Over time, various cocktail recipes have appeared.alcoholic with rum, which are variations of "Daiquiri." But the principle of making beverages remained the same. In “Daiquiri Derby”, in addition to light rum, lime juice, sugar and citrus liqueur, orange juice is added (in proportion one part to two distillates). This cocktail can be prepared in the form of a smoothie.
To make "Peach Daiquiri", you need to stretchripe fruit and beat with the rest of the ingredients in a blender. Do not forget to put five ice cubes. Similarly, the kind of "Passionate Daiquiri" is made. There the peach replaces the passion fruit.
Punches
If grog warms, then these rum cocktails,recipes which are also very numerous, refresh on a hot day. The punch is prepared in a large and wide crystal / glass bowl for a large company. We mix on a spoon of lemon, orange, grapefruit and lime zest with 1.5 cups of sugar, a pinch of cinnamon and ground ginger. We remember a little with our fingers in order to free the essential oils from citrus skins. Leave for four hours. Now squeeze citrus.
We need two glasses of orange, according toone glass of lime, lemon, grapefruit juice. Put sugar and spices on the bottom of the bowl. Fill with juices, adding one cup of pineapple to citrus. Add a bottle of light rum. Add one and a half cups of Amaretto and Grand Marnier liqueurs. Sweeten to taste with mango nectar. Before serving, decorate with citrus slices and pour three glasses of carbonated water.

Coffee recipes for cocktails from rum at homeconditions are very popular because they do not require special equipment for cooking. Foamy Devil is the most unusual drink possible. In a beer glass pour cold coffee (25 ml) and dark rum (50 ml). Fill the glass to the top with beer. We decorate a high cap of foam with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
