What Is Rum Liqueur?
Rum liqueur blends rum with sweeteners and flavours to create a smooth, often rich drink. Unlike traditional rum, which is a pure distilled spirit, rum liqueurs are sweeter, with a lower alcohol content (typically around 20-30% ABV) and are designed to be enjoyed neat, over ice, or mixed into cocktails. These liqueurs come in various flavours, from tropical fruits to spiced, caramel, and vanilla notes, making them a versatile addition to your liquor cabinet.
How Rum Liqueur Is Made: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Rum Base: High-quality rum serves as the foundation for rum liqueurs. Depending on the desired flavour, this may be light, dark, or spiced rum.
- Flavouring: Natural flavours are added, including tropical fruits like pineapple, spices like cinnamon, or cream for a rich finish.
- Sweetening: Liqueurs are sweeter than spirits, so sugar, honey, or syrup is added to enhance flavour and smoothness.
- Blending: The rum, flavourings, and sweeteners are carefully mixed to ensure a consistent taste.
- Bottling: Once the rum liqueur reaches the desired profile, it is filtered and bottled, ready for enjoyment.

Rum Liqueur vs. Traditional Rum: What’s the Difference?
While both share the same base spirit, they differ in key areas:
Alcohol Content
Traditional rum generally has a higher alcohol content (around 40% ABV), while rum liqueurs are sweeter and lower in alcohol (20-30% ABV).
Sweetness and Flavour
Rum liqueurs are sweetened and flavoured, making them more dessert-like compared to the bolder, drier flavours of traditional rum.
Usage
Traditional rum is often enjoyed in cocktails, while rum liqueurs are perfect for sipping neat, on the rocks, or as an ingredient in desserts and cocktails.
