Ronrico Gold Label Rum

Ronrico Gold Label is a Caribbean rum with a bold, fuller-bodied character. It suits mixed drinks with fruit juice, or a simple pour over ice with a little lime. For a longer drink, combine it with chilled soda and add juice gradually to keep the rum present.

This listing is for the 1.75 L size. At a 1-ounce cocktail measure, that volume provides approximately 59 pours before allowing for spills or a different recipe.

Try a small pour first, either neat or with a single cube, to decide how you want to use the rum. For a longer serve, add ice, ginger beer and a squeeze of lime. The mixer brings its own sweetness, so taste before adding syrup. Fresh lime provides a useful counterpoint and lets you adjust the drink a little at a time without committing to a complicated cocktail.

For a Daiquiri variation, shake 1 ounce of rum with half an ounce of fresh lime juice and a quarter-ounce of simple syrup over ice. Strain into a chilled glass and adjust the citrus or syrup to taste on the next pour. Different rum expressions change the character of this short recipe. Using the same proportions is a useful way to compare bottles while keeping the other ingredients consistent.
