What is the best Rum for a Rum and Coke? That is a question I do get asked a lot. So in this video, I want to dissect the best rum you could use for a Rum and Coke. What are the different Styles of Rum that could work better in a Rum and Coke? Is Spiced Rum and Coke better than a Bacardi and Coke. In this video, I don't profess to know what the best Rum of Coke is, I merely want to get you thinking if there is something better out there to what you're used to!
Hey, I'm Steve the Barman, the Older, Chubbier, Balder, UK version. My channel is now all about Rum. My channel includes Rum Comparison videos to find the best Rum. Plenty of Rum Review and Rum Tasting Videos, including Spiced Rum too. Since I'm now rolling out the Cocktail Inspiration on the Drinkstuff RU-vid Channel, it's allowed me to follow my true passion on my own Channel. We started out Rum Journey in July 2021 and it will be a great journey so stick with me!

When I worked in the Bahamas Mrs. Bacardi would occasionally come in for lunch when she was in town. The only thing she drank was Bacardi light with 2 slivers of ice. We asked why as we had a plethora of other Bacardi options. She said it was the best because it was unadulterated.

Some may think I’m unsophisticated, and maybe I am, but I like Bacardi Gold with Mexican Coke that is in some markets here in the United States. The cane sugar in the Mexican Coke has a much smoother feel on my tongue than the “real” Coke made with high fructose corn syrup, that is the norm in the states.

Yep, started out with Bacardi white, and soon moved on. I spent many a years with either Captain Morgan's Dark or Havana Club Reserve. Now I like my spiced 'toy' rums, both Sailor Jerry's & Kraken.

@brooksington4696 2 года назад

I've been experimenting with my different rums for a while now and finally have an answer! Hamilton 86 demerara is very characterful and DELICIOUS, the burnt caramelly notes really stand up to the coke. I'm also gonna have to agree regarding plantation OD as well, easily one of the best I've tried. To my tastebuds, most white rums just get lost in a sea of coke, especially most spanish style rums...maybe that's why they're so popular in a rum and coke? Maybe I just use too much coke? /shrug

@StevetheBarmanUK 2 года назад

We'd love to get Hamilton in the UK, but they just don't import this way. That said, it's just a DDL blend, and we have plenty of Pussers and El Dorado this way. Plus all the individual stills too, so i'm sure we can recreate Hmitlon very easily.

@viktortheslickster5824 6 дней назад

Pussers Gunpowder Proof - best rum and coke I've ever had. Flor Dr Cana 7 or Angostura 7 is a good choice for more of a session drink.

@TheGatorDude 20 дней назад

I basically just call this a "dark on dark" at this point. Newfoundland Screech, Caruba, Myers, or Goslings are the only way to go for me, and only with Coke Zero (Pepsi Max is ok). I'm avoiding the comments in case anyone suggests spiced of demerara, those are for people's palettes that require a shot of insulin.

For the price, you can’t beat Flor de Caña 4 Extra Seco. It’s one of my favorite mixing rums and makes a killer Cuba Libre.

@donpratt1732 2 месяца назад

Currently, my favorite rum for a rum and coke is Doorly's 8-yr. If I cannot find that, then the Bacardi 8 ("OH-CHO") is a good alternative and hard to beat at the price in the US market. BTW, I've hugely upped my mojito game based on your advice... and I've added a couple of tweaks to make it even better.

@RhubarbAndCod 2 года назад

I don't know if we've found the ultimate, but the darker ones do always seem to vibe right for us. Admittedly, we don't have a lot of cola in the house at all, but on the rare occasion, we've often just had a basic Flor de Caña to acceptable results. Nothing offensive. We've got that 1888 right now that might be alright. We'll try it and see! Thanks for this Steve!

@StevetheBarmanUK 2 года назад

Need to revisit Brugal 1888. Not had that in years. I even had pouring deals with Brugal back in 2012-2015. So went through a tonne of it. Which is probably why i forget about it now!

@andrewroberts4736 Месяц назад

My favourite rum for a rum and coke is Bundaberg. For a Dark and Stormy it has to be Myers.

@flymachine014 2 года назад

Since I'll mix it anyways and like it light on the rum side, I purchased one called Centenario (gold rum) produced in my country spent $6 and got 2 free 600ml bottles of coke. Went for the price and convenience but for an end of the month guilty pleasure worked wonders!

@StevetheBarmanUK 2 года назад

Ha, when available, Centenario in the UK is waaaaaay more expensive than that! Stupid money. I think thats why it doesn't have a great Rep. People accept Captain Morgans for example as it is so cheap. But if Capt Morgs was double the price, they'd laugh it out of the UK!

@kmook76 3 месяца назад

Distilleria Cozumel's Spiced Rum and Coke. It's not sweetened so it goes great with coke. Cardamom and cinnamon flavors.

@tommyj674 7 месяцев назад

Captain Morgan spiced rum and coke is my go too with no shame. Want less sweetness? Try with Diet Coke. Want the same great sweet vanilla taste but with more of a bite? Try 100 proof C.M. If that’s not enough drink your mixie warm. Want to get a buzz without any alcohol bite? Try CM silver. Don’t forget the other flavored options are great with clear pop also.

@dombrown-tz3zu Год назад

Hi. I’ve just discovered Flor De Cana 12 with pepsi, it’s blown my mind and is absolutely delicious.

@stereodreamer23 2 месяца назад

Havana Club 7 Anejo (Cuban) and Fever Tree "Distiller's Cola". And of course, with a little fresh-squeezed lime juice. And if I can't get the Cuban stuff (which is admittedly difficult to do here in the USA), I'd go with Plantation OD...

@StevetheBarmanUK Месяц назад

I feel like I need to revisit the Fever-Tree cola. Although it’s exactly the same stuff as you get in the US, ours is “Madagascan Cola” with more emphasis on the Vanilla part. But it’s 100% the same liquid. Anyway, over here in the UK, it just doesn’t get the love. Mind you it’s been out 6-8 years I think. Maybe longer. Deffo think pre 2018. In fact it’s rarely listed as it’s just a poor drink. So it’s interesting to see the US big it up. But then I think half of that maybe because you always love the Mexican Cola too. But then our Cola is the Mexican Cola. Well, it’s UK. But made from same stuff.

Hi Steve, I'm quite new to the rum "game", so to speak, but I've been enjoying Bumbu Original in my rum & coke, all of the spices in the rum blend very nicely in my opinion with the taste of coke.

@pmdinaz Год назад

Myers dark rum and dr. Pepper has sent me in a rum path. They are great but a little sweet by the time i finish the can. Started watching more of your vids and have fallen in love with rum. Plantation 5 year is the best ive found for sipping so far.. Costco's spiced rum (Kirkland brand) is the budget friendly once in a while sipper. Doorlys was very poor in flavor. Just bought some bacardi gold today, and its different. Jury is still out, but its immensely better than the Doorlys. Rum and coke for that one for sure

Might do me a little taste test.

A proper dark and stormy only uses goslings rum as they have copyright over the name... any other rum mixed with ginger beer and lime is known as a safe harbour. My particular favourite for a dark n stormy is gosling 151... and for a safe harbour woods navy. Both bang out extra abv which adds to the flavour of the ginger beer.

Bacardi was my choice around year 2000 but they moved bottling location to Germany and for 10years i didn't like the taste but when I tried again around 2013 they had go back to the Puerto Rico plant again and now it's my standard rum and coke again. I prefer regular coca cola and another rum that are really good is Matusalem 7 year/anejo (it should be mixed quite strong to taste good) and also the Filipino rum Tanduay.

Yeah. A lot of of them huge brands are bottled around the world. Cos it’s cheaper to ship in Big IBC containers instead of individual glass bottles.

Spiced Rum & Coke - go great together.

Honestly I don't understand people who don't like a rum because it's like sweeter. That's the point of a cocktail/rum and coke.

Hi Steve, I don’t touch coke at all since 50 years ago, yes, I was 17, and ODd on Bacardi & Coke. I still don’t buy Bacardi either! Nick from York

English Harbor is my favorite rum for rum and coke

@timfuggle3960 2 года назад

The worst is the plain (non aged) Bacardi. The best is Bumbu XO with coke.

@StevetheBarmanUK 2 года назад

Actually, I don't think Bacardi Carta Blanca is that bad. I mean they sell a tonne of it each year. Is there better? yeah, of course, espesh to people who really really love Rum. But it's also not terrible either.

@timfuggle3960 2 года назад

@@StevetheBarmanUK Yes I agree that Bicardi Carta isn't terrible but there are far better rums once a person begins to learn about and appreciate rums. Bicardi 10 year old is my 3rd best rum n coke.

Old Monk from India! Please review that rum. People need to know about it. I’ll be trying Plantation next. I want it also to make the classic Zombie.

@StevetheBarmanUK 9 месяцев назад

Old Monk isn’t really available here in the UK. I’ve seen Legend, but that’s quite expansive. Not really seen anything in a normal budget range.

@bornetocrywolf5965 9 месяцев назад

@@StevetheBarmanUK yeah. It’s rare to come across it over here in the colonies actually. It’s good stuff IMO. If you ever get the chance try it. It’s usually around $25-$30 USD. I enjoy your videos and appreciate the information. So many rums.
