Happy National Rum Day!!!!

By alarsen | Friday, August 15, 2008, 02:00 PM

Did you know that Saturday, August 16th is National Rum Day?

Yes indeedy, there’s an entire day dedicated exclusively to Rum.

It’s a liquor with a rich history and to honor it we offer up a few tasty facts about this tasty spirit.

Did you know … Rum is considered to be the world’s oldest distilled spirit?

Rum is produced in a variety of styles? Light rums are commonly used in cocktails while golden and dark Rums are appropriate for drinking straight, or as a brandy or for use in cooking.

Not every distilled sugarcane product is Rum? There’s Cachaca (only made in Brazil); Arak or Arrack (only made in Indonesia), or Aguardiente, which comes from Spain.

With the end of summer on the way and it being National Rum Day, here’s a great link with Rum Cocktail recipes and selections tips that’s worth a look, especially if you’re looking to toast the day properly.
