Making Your Blueberry Rum Sizzle
Who doesn’t love a good rum cocktail after a long day? We’ve made this stunning cocktail with both white and amber rum and we have to say – both were AMAZING! If you are looking for more of a rum focused flavor stick with your favorite Amber rum, however if you want a lighter taste and more of the sour juice flavors – go for white rum. Both work so well with this drink. As we said above we do suggest making this drink with both and doing a taste test with which one you prefer. You can have a fun afternoon with friends by making both and having everyone vote for their favorite! A big part of what makes this cocktail so unique is that we use a swizzle to infuse all the flavors, this is an old bar technique and is super easy to do. We talk more about this right below. So grab you swizzle and get mixing!
