By now, you may have heard about Captain Morgan‘s White Rum. We finally got our hands on a bottle of this 80 proof rum, and we recommend you raise a glass to sample this spirit for yourself.
Almost anyone can appreciate a splash of smooth Captain Morgan Spiced Rum mixed with ginger ale or your choice cola. That cold cocktail is an established party favorite.

With a smooth finish and crystal-clear color, you can play bartender at home and make a number of fancy-looking, great-tasting cocktails packing a punch with 80-proof potency.

The new white rum is slightly sweet with a fruity finish of lush green apple. Crisp, light, and refreshing, you can stir with club soda and a squeeze of lime juice, or kick back with a clear rum and cola.
