How many calories are in rum?

A standard 30 ml rum comes in at around 65 to 97 calories, depending on the proof and brand, similar to most other spirits like vodka or gin. On its own it's actually pretty low in calories since pure rum has zero carbs and no added sugar. The calories significantly increase when mixers are added. A Bundy and Coke or a Piña Colada can easily double or triple that number once you add the sugar, so if you're watching your intake, soda water or a diet mixer is always a better choice.

What's the best mixer for rum?

Honestly, it depends on what you're after, really. Some people like it sweet, some want it sharp, and there's no wrong answer here. If you've grabbed a dark or spiced rum, coke is where most people land, Bundaberg and coke especially, and if you haven't tried that combo yet, you're honestly missing out. Ginger beer's another good one when you want a bit more spice to it. Prefer something lighter? White rum with soda and a wedge of lime does the job without messing with the flavour too much. And pineapple juice, well, that's basically the tropical option, good for when you want your drink to feel like a holiday even if you're just on the couch.

What are some top-notch rum cocktails worth sipping?

When you've your favourite rum, the fun part is what you do with it. We have listed a few classic options worth giving a try:

• Piña Colada – A creamy classic tropical drink, easy to make and a go-to if you want something simple.
• Mojito – A drink light enough to sip all afternoon, with fresh mint, lime and a splash of soda.
• Mai Tai – A punchier tiki-style mix with a bit more depth, great for when you want something a step up.
• Rum Runner – A little indulgent and fruity, worth trying if you like your cocktails on the sweeter side.
• Classic Daiquiri – Simple, sharp and properly balanced, a solid pick if you want to taste the rum itself.
• Jungle Bird – Bitter, tart and a bit unexpected, ideal for anyone bored of the usual rum mixes.

Whatever the occasion, there's a rum cocktail here worth shaking up.

Which Foods Should You Pair with Rum?

Rum's a lot more food-friendly than people give it credit for. A few pairings worth trying:

• Cheese – A good match for darker rums, especially anything aged with a bit of caramel or oak on the palate.
• Fried chicken – The sweetness in spiced rum plays well against the crunch and saltiness here.
• Pork ribs – Smoky, sticky ribs pair naturally with rum's own caramel and molasses notes.
• Macaroni – A comfort food match that works surprisingly well with a smoother, lighter rum.
• Steak – A darker, richer rum can hold its own next to a well-seasoned steak.
• Crab cakes – The sweetness of the crab pairs nicely with a lighter or spiced rum.
• Fish & chips – Classic pub food that works well with a crisp white rum.
• Bread pudding – For dessert, this leans into rum's natural warmth and spice.
• Butter cake – Another dessert option, rich enough to stand up to a darker rum.

Good food and a decent glass of rum go a long way on their own.
