Summer is the perfect season for cocktails made with Caribbean rum. And below I share the recipes for four Caribbean rum cocktails as learnt during a recent masterclass hosted by Pure Grenada. The four summer cocktails include Nutmeg Espresso Martini, Chilli & Coconut Mojito, Grapefruit & Marzipan Daiquiri, and Zombie.

All the above cocktails are delicious and perfect for cooling off when temperatures sore. However, must admit that my favorite of the four Caribbean rum cocktails is the Chilli & Coconut Mojito. The mix of Westerhall — Grenadian rum, lime, Coco Lopez, chili syrup, mint leaves and crushed ice was simply delicious and oh so refreshing. So definitely will be making time and time again!
