The Rum Runner is a vibrant tropical cocktail, a descendant of the classic Rum Punch family. Originating in the 1950s, it hails from the Caribbean, where its mix of rum, fruit juices, and brandy perfectly captures the island’s spirit.
The Rum Runner is a tropical delight with a sweet and tart balance. Malibu rum brings a smooth, coconutty sweetness, while blackberry brandy adds a touch of tartness and complexity. The blend of orange, pineapple, and cranberry juices creates a refreshing and fruity base, with notes of citrus, tropical fruit, and tart berries. The overall taste profile is vibrant and balanced, with a lingering sweetness and a hint of tartness.
Start by chilling your glass. This keeps the drink cold and refreshing. Use fresh juices for the best flavor. To avoid over-diluting, build the drink in the glass with ice. If using pre-mixed juices, adjust the amount of cranberry juice to your preference - less for a sweeter drink. Garnish with a fresh blackberry or orange peel.
