Floral Rum Cocktails — Data-Backed Ranking

12 Rum cocktails deliver a floral flavour profile in this data, led by Barracuda and Casa Blanca.

Floral 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 floral as the dominant note or use it as a counterpoint to the spirit's own character.
