Rum Glasses and Mugs
Rum glasses and tumblers are a popular choice for serving and savouring this classic spirit. Rum glasses usually have a narrow rim and a wide bowl so that the flavour of the rum can fully develop and be appreciated. Rum tumblers, on the other hand, are often more robust and stable and have a handle that is comfortable to sip from.
Did you know that rum was originally served in wooden tumblers? It wasn't until the 19th century that glassware specifically designed for rum became widely available. And although rum tumblers are often associated with pirates and treasure hunts, they actually have a more practical history. In the Caribbean, rum tumblers were used by plantation labourers to avoid losing too much liquid while working in the hot sun.
Whether you prefer to drink your rum from a glass or a tumbler, the fun and sophistication that these vessels bring is undeniable. So raise a glass (or a tumbler) of your favourite rum and let the good times begin!
