If you want to feel the specific taste of rum well - try and drink it in small sips without dilution and without additives. You can also try combinations: with ice, as part of cocktails (the most famous "Mojito"), with soda or with tonic.

How and what to eat with rum?
Let's go back a little in history and remember the pirates of the Caribbean - not the ones from the movie, but the real ones. The idea to combine rum with different snacks comes from them.
Very often the merchant ships they attacked were carrying fruit and spices. There were many opportunities for "tastings". You will especially like the combination of dark rum flavor with orange slices with a pinch of cinnamon. There was also seafood. Therefore, we recommend drinking rum with:
- fruit slices - in addition to oranges, you can put on the table a plate with beautifully cut slices of melon, pineapple, lime, grapefruit - the composition can be supplemented with cherries or morello cherries;
- slices of cheese - suitable for the company of rum are hard cheeses, do not forget about the aesthetics of serving;
- assorted nuts - a classic in the genre for every evening in warm company;
- sausages - you can choose several types of smoked meat or boiled meat cut into thin slices;
- fish - various types of seafood: calamari, lightly salted salmon, trout, salmon, escolar.
Of course, you can turn on your imagination and for example, make a canapé of cheese, fish and fruit. Try to surprise with an exotic flambéed dish - these are banana slices fried in rum. You should also stock up on natural coffee and dark chocolate.
