Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Rum with 5 Easy Rum Cocktail Recipes

We aren't going to lie to you. Rum cocktails are among the most delectable mixed drinks available. Rum is frequently used with sweet and tart fruity flavours to create easy-to-drink cocktails (sometimes too easy). This sugar cane-based liquor first gained popularity in the United States in the 1700s and then all over the world, and we've been drinking it ever since. So, no matter what the occasion or season, there's a rum drink for you.
