Cocktails with White Rum Recipes
We’re starting off our list of cocktails with White Rum with an absolute classic…
…White Rum and Coke.
Perhaps one of the simplest of drinks with White Rum, yet one of the most effective.
White Rum and Coke
Ingredients
- White Rum 50ml / 1.7oz.
- Cola 120ml / 4.1oz.
- a slice of lime

White Cubra Libre
Ingredients

- Cola 120ml / 4.1oz.
- a slice of lime
Recipe
- Add Ice, White Rum, Lime Juice, and Cola to a Highball Glass.
- Garnish with a slice of lime.
The White Cubre Libre is a cocktail with White Rum that plays on the classic Cubre Libre cocktail and it’s equally as delicious.
The only difference between the two is that White Rum replaces the traditional Dark Rum. Although the alteration is slight, it makes for a different and more subtle flavour.
Usually, the simpler options are the most effective and the White Cubre makes a strong case for that.
El Presidente
Ingredients
- White Rum 20ml / 0.7oz.
- Vermouth 10ml / 0.3oz.
- Orange Curacao 10ml / 0.3oz.

You’ve gotta love a cocktails that mixes White Rum and orange juice. Nomz.
This white rum drink is a tasty play on the El Presidente White Rum cocktail recipe.
It mixes pretty much the same flavours as the El Presidente but misses out the Vermouth.
If you’re not a fan of Vermouth (or don’t have any in your house) this is a great substitute.
Pina Colada
Ingredients
- White Rum 30ml / 1oz.
- Pineapple Juice 90ml / 3oz.
- Cream of Coconut 30ml / 1oz.
- a maraschino cherry
Recipe
- Add Ice, White Rum, Pineapple Juice, and Cream of Coconut to an electric blender.
- Blend.

- Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
The Pina Colada has to be one of the most iconic cocktails with White Rum of all time.
This White Rum cocktail recipe mixes beautiful Pineapple and Coconut flavours to give an exotic taste.

Raspberry White Rum Caipirinha
Ingredients
- White Rum 50ml / 1.7oz.

- 1 tablespoon of Sugar
- 5 raspberries
Recipe
- Add the Sugar and the rest of the mixers to a Old Fashioned Glass
- Mash the ingredients together.
- Add Ice and the Alcohol.
- Garnish with 5 raspberries.
This is a fresh take on Brazil’s national cocktail, the Caipirinha.
The Caipirinha uses Cachaça as its alcohol base, but this version uses White Rum instead. I find this white rum drink produces a different (and delicious) flavour entirely.
Fresh Raspberries complete the update and finish of the cocktail nicely.
Coconut Breeze
Ingredients
- White Rum 50ml / 1.7oz.
- Coconut Water 150ml / 5.1oz.

This is a nice and light White Rum cocktail recipe. It contains hints of sweet Coconut that compliments the taste of White Rum rather nicely. A classic combination.
The sweetness for this cocktail comes from Agave Syrup. It comes from the Agave plant, which is very common in Mexico. The Agave Plant is boiled to produce a sweetener but can also be fermented to produce Tequila.
For Coconut Water, we recommend:
