Rum cocktails

About rum
Rum is distilled from fermented sugar-cane juice, fermented black treacle, or a mixture of these. It ranges from an almost characterless flavor to a full-bodied, and color ranges from white to very dark. As a rule the lighter the color then the lighter the flavor, but in fact the color has nothing to do with the flavor since it comes from the added caramel. The real differences are caused by variations in ingredient, method of fermentation, and distillation as well a maturing. So therefor it is important to know what kind to use
Navy Rum – A light bodied. Dark golden colored rum with a delicate flavor, and aroma. It is of 43% alcohol

Jamaica Rum – A darker-colored rum with a stronger flavor and aroma with about the same alcohol content as Navy

Demerara Rum – A very dark rum with a very strong flavor and aroma

Then there are the white rums, which are lighter in flavor.
