World Rum Day aims to honour all things to do with the classically Caribbean spirit and sees distilleries, bars, brands and enthusiasts coming together to celebrate. The event was first founded in 2019 by Paul Jackson, spirits writer and editor of World Rum Guide, and falls on Saturday 10 July this year. You can find out more about how to get involved here.

Rum is an endlessly versatile spirit. It was first mentioned in records from Barbados in around 1650 and is made from fermenting and then distilling sugarcane molasses or sugar cane juice, resulting in a tasty spirit that forms the basis of many popular cocktails.

Different variations of the tipple, including golden and dark rums, are typically consumed straight or on the rocks, while lighter and flavoured rums lend themselves to pina coladas, rum punches, daiquiris and more.

Whatever your preference, there’s a wide range on the market to satisfy your cravings – including some brand new spirits at Aldi to mark the occasion.

The budget supermarket is stocking a raspberry mojito rum, a pineapple-infused bottle and a cherry-flavoured spirit – and all of them are just £14.99 a bottle.
