Rum Runner Cocktail

This tropical cocktail will make you think of warm breezes on a gorgeous beach, with your toes buried in the sand.

This drink is a sweet concoction full of fruit juices and rum. It goes down smooth and packs a punch, so be careful.

There are as many variations on this drink as there are bars, but all Rum Runners include rum, orange and/or pineapple juice, and some kind of liqueur – or two.

WHERE DID THE RUM RUNNER ORIGINATE?

Rumour has it that this drink was developed in the 1950s at a Tiki bar in Islamorada in the Florida Keys by a bartender who had just a bit of several different rums and liqueurs. Rather than waste so many boozy remnants, he mixed them all together and the rest is history.

VARIATIONS ON THIS TROPICAL COCKTAIL

Swap out the dark rum for a spiced rum like Sailor Jerry or Captain Morgan.
Use a coconut rum, like Malibu, for even more tropical flair.
Make it a frozen drink. Instead of shaking and pouring over ice, combine all the ingredients into a blender and blend until frothy. Pour it into a hurricane glass, garnish, and enjoy.

EQUIPMENT USED IN THIS RECIPE
