If rum is your preferred taste here are a few suggestions for cocktails to serve at the start of your next romantic meal for two. All with a bit of a twist using rum, the first is a cocktail called The Sidecar: A classic cocktail traditionally made with Cognac, orange liqueur (Cointreau, Grand Marnier or another triple sec), and lemon juice. Here we use Rum and an orange liquor. Next we have a Rum based Creole DAiquiri and the classic Pompadour.
