Best Rum Drinks

115 rum drinks tracked, averaging 0.8g carbs and 102 calories per serving. Rum is distilled from sugarcane or molasses, but like any distilled spirit the sugar stays behind in distillation - the near-zero carb count here comes from the process, not from a "diet" recipe. Sorted by DrinkLeader score (highest first), then carbs and calories.
