Rum isn’t just a spirit that is used in cocktails. It is unique amongst beverages in how it has shaped history. 

Rum has driven the creation of sugar plantations, played an important role in the British Navy, piracy, slavery, and global commerce.

Today, it has lost its global importance and has become an ingredient in cocktails and an important part of Caribbean economies. 

Learn more about Rum’s journey from an empire-building by-product to a craft-made delicacy on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
