The most well-known rum drinkers

Nothing influences global culture more than politicians and celebrities. One hoarding, billboard, advertisement, or, in today’s world, the digital campaign can make or break a spirit’s reputation.

Rum is no exception, and it has been enjoyed by some of the greatest names in world history.

Starting with Papa himself seems like a good place to start.

Ernest Hemmingway

Ernest Hemingway was a Nobel Prize-winning American novelist and journalist who was regarded as one of the twentieth century’s most influential writers. He is known for his terse, understated prose, and he frequently writes about World War I and the “Lost Generation” of survivors.

Hemingway was a voracious drinker throughout his life, creating a number of legendary cocktails. He is best known for his Mojitos and, of course, The Hemingway Daiquiri, a twist on the classic Daiquiri that he invented and has since been named after him.

The Hemingway Daiquiri is served in a double cocktail glass and made with rum, lime juice, maraschino liqueur, and grapefruit juice.

Hemmingway popularized the concept of a “double shot” or “double serve,” and most of the characters in his books followed suit.

Mary Pickford

Another legendary creation named after a person – Mary Pickford – was created during the Prohibition era.

This tropical favorite’s most popular origin story goes as follows: The Mary Pickford cocktail was created and named after the pioneering star, who was working on a film in Havana at the time with husband Douglas Fairbanks (as was Fairbanks’ best friend, Charlie Chaplin).

We do know that the Mary Pickford cocktail first appeared in print in 1928 with the publication of Basil Woon’s cocktail book, “When It’s Cocktail Time in Cuba,” and again in 1930 with the publication of legendary bartender Harry Craddock’s “The Savoy Cocktail Book.” White rum, pineapple juice, grenadine, and maraschino liqueur are used to make this cocktail.

John F Kennedy

John F. Kennedy (abbreviated JFK) was the 35th President of the United States and a symbol of the 1960s.

JFK appears to have been a Daiquiri man when it came to alcohol. He preferred the classics, made with rum, lime juice, and simple syrup, rather than the frozen smorgasbord of unrelated fruit flavors that come out of the slushy machine. Given his upper-class upbringing and country club summers on Cape Cod, it’s likely he drank a variety of cocktails and other libations throughout his life.

However, with great power comes great responsibility, as well as a large following. He is credited with helping to resurrect the Daiquiri game.

Vanessa Paradis

Vanessa is best known as Johnny Depp’s better half, the man who single-handedly immortalized the relationship between rum and pirates.

For years, Paradis was the envy of every woman, but she was also a bartender’s worst nightmare. Mojitos are notoriously difficult to make and are the most despised drink among bartenders.

It’s not the rum, brown sugar, or soda that’s tiresome. The muddling of the mint leaves with lime juice, the use of only crushed ice, and the stirring once everything is in the glass all take longer than a simple stirred or shaken cocktail.

Will Smith

Will Smith is an American actor and musician who has become one of Hollywood’s most successful actors thanks to the truly impressive number of major blockbuster films he has starred in since the 1990s. His filmography includes 17 films that have grossed more than $100 million worldwide, earning him the title of “most bankable” movie star on the planet, according to Forbes.

What does he consume? Drinks like the Pina Colada or a classic Daiquiri are considered “girly.”

Mindy Kaling

Mindy Kaling is an American actress, comedian, and author known for her offbeat humour, which she displayed in projects such as The Mindy Project (2012–17).

Kaling described the weather as “dark and stormy.” “Rum-infused ginger beer.” Simple syrup and lime juice

are frequently added as well. The Dark ‘n’ Stormy is very similar to the Moscow Mule, except it contains dark rum instead of vodka.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, also known as FDR, served as the 32nd President of the United States. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest US Presidents, having presided over the repeal of Prohibition, the Great Depression, and World War II.

When he went sailing, Roosevelt was known to enjoy Bermuda Rum Swizzles or Bermuda’s national rum. Dark rum, lime juice, orange juice, and falernum syrup are used to make it. It is customary to use an authentic swizzle stick to make a Rum Swizzle. Real swizzle sticks are long stems snapped from a Caribbean tree with multiple prongs that protrude horizontally.

Gurkha

The Gurkhas are Nepalese hill people who have been popular recruits in the British Army for the last 200 years. Gurkhas are known for being fearless in combat and extremely pleasant in everyday life.

They are still known for their loyalty, professionalism, and bravery. They drank Hot Rum Punch, a twist on Nepal’s most popular rum brand, Khukri. The Hot Rum Punch was ideal for the winter and cold climates of Nepal, as well as other battlefields where warriors and their families frequently resided.
