These three rum cocktails are some of my favorite to enjoy on a nice summer day. They explore the complexity of aged rum and make for a nicely balanced summer cocktail. The Painkiller is a creamy and smooth tiki style cocktail that will go down a little too easy. The aged rum daiquiri is very simple to make but sometimes the most simple forms of drinks are the best. The caipirinha has been my favorite replacement to a margarita and a mojito for awhile now. I believe this should be more popular in the US and hope it will be in the future.
