Rum’s got rhythm. Sunshine in a glass. But just as good in the depths of winter. It’s one of the most versatile spirits you can get your hands on. Weaves between refreshing, tropical sips. And rich, warming serves. A true globetrotter. From Caribbean islands to London cocktail bars, rum’s got a well-travelled reputation. Whether you want a Mojito by the pool or a Piña Colada by the fire. Rum’s got you. Smooth, complex, sometimes spicy. Never, ever dull.

Rum starts with sugarcane. Usually molasses, sometimes fresh juice. Fermented, distilled and aged in barrels for character. What comes out depends on where it’s made. Light Cuban styles. Rich Jamaican rums. Dark, spiced Caribbean blends. It’s a spirit with history and heart.

What makes rum stand out? Its versatility. Bright, citrusy cocktails for summer. Deeper, spiced numbers for winter. Always with a touch of escapism.

At MOTH, we work with The Duppy Share – our spirited partner in all things rum. Born in London, crafted with Caribbean soul. Their blends bring sunshine to every sip. We use a bespoke secret white rum recipe that they’ve dreamed up for us. With sunny vibrations of mango, banana and herby thyme.

The result? Rum cocktails that taste like they were shaken fresh at the bar. Except they’re ready to pour. Perfect whatever the plan.

Rum’s story starts on sun-soaked shores. The Caribbean gave it to the world. Sailors, traders and adventurers carried it across oceans. Then it became a mainstay in taverns, clubs, cocktail bars. For centuries, rum has been linked with both celebration and rebellion.

Cocktails came later. With the Mojito, Piña Colada and Daiquiri leading the charge. Tropical, refreshing, timeless. Rum never stopped reinventing itself. It’s always finding its place at the party.

Fresh mint, zesty lime, light rum, a touch of sugar, topped with soda. A Cuban classic that’s travelled everywhere. Our MOTH: Mojito brings Duppy Share’s rum into the mix. Bright, refreshing, effortlessly cool. It’s the taste of long afternoons and late-night laughter. Sip straight from the can or pour over ice with a sprig of mint.

Ultra-light coconut air. Juicy pineapple. Rum weaving through like golden sunlight. The Piña Colada is pure escapism. Born in Puerto Rico in the 50s, it’s still no.1 cocktail pick for a little holiday. Our MOTH: Piña Colada uses Duppy Share rum to balance tropical sweetness with a little Caribbean rhythm. Smooth, cheeky, indulgent.

Rum doesn’t stop at the classics. Here are a few more favourites to keep your shaker (or fridge) busy.

Daiquiri – Clean, sharp, refreshing. Lime, sugar, rum. That’s it. The perfect beachside pick-me-up.

Rum Punch – Fruity, vibrant, a party in a glass. The Caribbean’s answer to sangria.

Mai Tai – Almond, lime, layered rums. A tiki legend with serious flair.

Dark’n’Stormy – Spiced rum, ginger beer, a squeeze of lime. Warming with a bite.

Rum Old Fashioned – Rich, slow, contemplative. Rum replacing whisky for a softer edge.

Rum Toddy – Hot water, honey, lemon, rum. Comfort in a mug for cold nights.
