This cocktail features the makings of a classic Daiquiri: rum, lime, and sugar. However, the addition of iced tea and mint transforms it into a relaxed affair that’s as easy to make as it is to sip.
Rum is a classification of spirits made from sugarcane or its syrup, or from molasses, a by-product of sugar production. Most of the world's rum is made from molasses and is typically produced in the Caribbean and Latin America, although it can be produced anywhere in the world. Rum can be clear (white), either un-aged or aged then filtered. It can also be Gold, with some aging, or Dark with 5-7 or more years of aging.
