What Is Coconut Rum?
Coconut rum is an alcoholic beverage. It’s composed of white rum flavored with coconut extract. White rum has a light, transparent color with a faint sweetness and a light-bodied composition. Unlike dark rum, which is aged in a charred oak barrel and sometimes colored with caramel to get a darkened color, white rums are aged either in metal or plain oak containers for a clearer result. Many white rums are flavored with fruits or other flavorings; in addition to coconut, some popular light rum flavors are lime, pineapple, cherry, banana, vanilla, and coffee.
