Possibly the most famous of all rum cocktails is the classic mojito. This simple, Cuban cocktail is a blend of fresh mint, lime, sugar, rum, and club soda. Reviewer Carrie says, "The great thing about this aptly named recipe is that it is so authentic. It tastes as it should — not too sweet, with some granulated sugar left at the end."

Pineapple and coconut were meant to be together, and with a little rum you have the perfect summertime trio. "I used canned pineapple in the blender instead of juice and omitted the sugar and it was amazing," says reviewer ghatcher25. "So far the best piña colada that I've made at home. I'll never buy a store mix again."

"I have served this to people who have sworn that they dislike mojitos and they love it," says recipe creator malgal. "I believe it is the fresh ingredients and the use of sugar, instead of simple syrup, muddled together that makes this cocktail refreshing and delicious. It takes a little bit of work but the results are well worth it. Serve over ice." This pitcher recipe is great for serving a crowd.

This stress-relieving blend of vodka, rum, peach schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry juice will help take the edge off after a long day. "The peach schnapps gives it a sweet, the cranberry and oj gives it sour. A good balance, not too sweet and not too sour," says reviewer peggyned.

"Yes, it's yummy and authentic," says reviewer Barbara Sullivan Berheimer. "But watch out, especially when serving to guests. It doesn't taste as boozy as it is. This tropical drink is best served in a hurricane glass."

This cocktail requires just three ingredients: coconut rum, pineapple juice, and a maraschino cherry. "One of my favorite standbys," says reviewer Cammie. "Great on a summer day. Occasionally, I add a splash of Amaretto which give it an excellent taste and ups the alcohol content!"
