Cruzan Light was my first light rum, or any rum for that matter. It’s choice was determined from painstakingly pouring (pun?) over reviews and YouTube videos. Of course, after I purchased it, I found other reviews that contradicted this. This brings us to rule #1:
On the Internet, an agreement on anything by one group, will be disagreed upon by another group.
I have tried to sip it straight. Don’t do that.
I have tried it with a little water or over ice. Doesn’t help.
Then again, I don’t think anyone expect Cruzan Light to be used in this manner.
I have tried other light rums, and as previously noted, in a cocktail, the differences are small or totally insignificant (to me). Middle-shelf and inexpensive.
