About This Cocktail

The Rum Old-Fashioned is a tropical twist on the classic Old Fashioned cocktail. It typically features aged rum as the base spirit, offering a rich and smooth flavor profile. The drink is made by muddling a sugar cube with bitters (usually Angostura), then adding the rum and a splash of water or club soda. It’s stirred with ice until chilled and served over ice in a lowball glass. Garnished with an orange peel or a maraschino cherry, the Rum Old-Fashioned delivers a perfect balance of sweetness, depth, and a hint of spice from the rum.
