Strongest 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 ABV (highest first), then score.

How To Use This Ranking

Use ABV as the first filter

This page is sorted to surface the strongest rum choices first. Start with the top ten, then compare score and calories.

Check serving size before you order

The current shortlist reaches a ceiling of 40.0% ABV, so confirm the pour size before treating a high-proof pick like a standard serving.

Cross-reference carbs separately

Strength and carbs move independently, so a high-ABV pick is not automatically low-carb. This shortlist still averages 1.6g carbs per 1.5 oz serving.
