Refreshing Strong

O Rum Cooler é uma bebida de verão onde o sabor do rum e a refrescante sensação de frescor se harmonizam. Com rum, ao qual se adicionam água com gás ou ginger ale e suco de frutas, é uma bebida ideal para se refrescar em um dia quente.

History & Origins

Coolers as a cocktail category have roots in 19th-century American bartending, generally defined as a spirit lengthened with a carbonated soft drink and garnished with citrus. The Rum Cooler is a logical extension of this tradition that gained popularity in the mid-20th century as rum became widely available across North America. Its precise origin is disputed, but it is firmly embedded in the canon of simple rum drinks.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Light rum's subtle sweetness and citrus peel from the lemon garnish, lifted by the effervescence of lemon-lime soda. Palate: Sweet and lightly citrusy, with the rum providing a gentle alcoholic warmth and the soda delivering refreshing carbonation. Finish: Clean, effervescent, and mildly sweet with a brief lemon zest note.

Pro Tip

Use a chilled collins glass and pour the soda slowly down the side to preserve carbonation and avoid a flat drink.
