Berry Rum Cocktails — Data-Backed Ranking

9 Rum cocktails deliver a berry flavour profile in this data, led by Cool Carlos and Harvest Nectar.

Berry and rum work well together because the spirit acts as a carrier — it does not fight the flavor, it extends it. The drinks here either feature berry as the dominant note or use it as a counterpoint to the spirit's own character.
