White Rum

It is light-bodied and it comes from sugarcane juice, while some are from molasses. It is usually lighter in color and does not have a bold taste. It is usually best when mixed with some fruit juices for a very refreshing daiquiri.

This type is distilled in plain old casks or stainless steel tanks in order to maintain its white or clear color, thus it is not as full-bodied as compared to the other types. Ladies drinks or cocktail drinks are usually mixed with this type.  An example of which is the Hemingway daiquiri which is made from 2oz of white rum, ¾ oz of lime juice, ½ oz of grapefruit juice, ½ oz of maraschino, and some sugar syrup. Just mix everything together, add some crushed ice, and you have a very refreshing drink with just a tinge of alcohol. It is best served with some finger food like nachos, shrimp cocktails, etc.

Agricole Rum

This is distilled from pure and fresh sugarcane juice. It is distilled up to seventy percent alcohol, allowing it to retain much of the flavor of the sugarcane juice. It is made in single-column stills which allow the distiller to control the distillation process which is not possible in a pot still. It is usually mixed with fruit juice, and like the Jamaican rum, it also requires someone to develop a taste bud for it. It’s not for everyone.

There is nothing wrong with drinking liquor. Men relax with friends with some bottle of it. They enjoy watching games on the television while having some sips of their favorite alcoholic beverage. It has a very relaxing effect that it lessens the stress from everyday activities. The only important thing is not to consume too much of it because of the physical and social problems that it could give as a result of too much consumption.
