Full disclosure, I’m not a heavy drinker. In fact, the last time I had anything stronger than a wine cooler I ended up with a massive headache and the strong urge for a long nap. Nonetheless, there are days when I just NEED a drink (usually after watching Tipsy Bartender on YouTube). Other than a few wine bottles that were gifted to us and a bottle of Grand Marnier, we have no hard liquor in our home. So when this company wanted to send me a sample bottle of their Chic Choc Spiced Rum, my first reaction was HECK yea! Send me all the alcohol! My second reaction was trying to figure out what cocktail to try first. So many delicious cocktails to try! I ended up making 2 easy rum cocktails recipe using this spiced rum. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Easy Rum Cocktails For When You Just Need A Drink!
This post is in collaboration with Chic Choc Spiced Rum. I was sent a free bottle for review purposes. * 21+ (18 in QC). Please drink responsibly.
Classic Rum and Coke
The first cocktail that I wanted to try was the classic Rum & Coke.
You need 5 oz of Cola, 1 oz of Chic Choc Spiced Rum, ice, and lime wedges. Pour everything into a glass, stir the mixture and enjoy!
Mai Tai
This cocktail recipe was so easy. I was sent coupon codes to get a free bottle of Mott’s Mr & Mrs T Mai Tai Mix (thank you chickadvisory).
You need ice, 45 ML of Chic Choc Spiced Rum, and 135 ML of Mott’s Mr & Mrs T Mai Tai Mix. Add ice chip, the Mai Tai Mix and the rum in a cocktail glass and voila!

I haven’t had an liquor in over a decade. I’d probably fall on my face after drinking this.
Hahah I feel you. Each time I go for a long period of time without drinking, I end up falling asleep.
Although I’m not a drinker either, I know how popular rum drinks are for those who do. I like all the refreshing variations you shared, as I can see how, depending on individual taste, there is something for everything in this list! I know my daughter would probably like the Choc Choc Spice Rum recipe. Probably all chocolate lovers would!

Oh these look like fun. It seems like it’s going to be a nice week for some patio time so I’ll need a few good drinks!

Mai Tai is one of my favorites, transports me to a paradise beach =) Cheers to cool and tasty cocktails =)
My mom used to love drinking Rum and Coke. It was “her” drink. I personally am not a huge rum fan although I do like some drinks that contain it. The Mai Tai would be probably my favorite out this set of drinks! I also am always inspired to make drinks after watching the Tipsy Bartender.

Sounds like a good way to cool down in this heat. It’s getting toasty outside! haha, ‘toasty’ I didn’t do that on purpose. 😉
I have not had a drink in like a year 1/2 or so, but I am not one to have rum in mine. I will pass it along to friends!

Mai Tai is my sister’s favorite drink. I will have to see if she’s tried this variation of it.
Rum coke is definitely my favorite for a fun-filled party night! Thanks for sharing this!
