There are many varieties of rum that can be used to make cocktails and the choice can be a daunting one. Choosing a quality light or gold rum to stock in a home bar is a good place to begin and is required for many rum cocktails. Dark rums are used occasionally in addition to light rum in a few cocktails and should be a second priority. Flavored rums are not as necessary as their counterparts but are useful for specific cocktails and can substitute other rums for more flavor.
