Flavored rum is a type of rum that has been infused with various flavors, often derived from fruits, spices, or other natural ingredients. This process enhances the rum's taste profile, making it more appealing for cocktails and mixed drinks. Common flavors include coconut, pineapple, mango, and spiced variations, which can add a tropical twist to beverages. Typically, flavored rum is made by blending traditional white rum or dark rum with flavoring agents. It is popular in many regions, especially in the Caribbean, where rum has deep cultural roots. Flavored rum can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a key ingredient in various cocktails.
