Flavour Favourites

These rum liqueurs deserve a place in your cooler, summer bar or backyard barista station.

✱ HIGH HEAVENS Aficionados covet so-called high ester, heavy mark/marque or high hogo rums, which come from Jamaican traditions that create funky, overripe fruit and fresh-earth aromas. For a taste of this style, sip Worthy Park Single Estate Reserve ( LCBO 24441, $89.95 ), with lush banana and papaya notes.

Rumchata Cream Liqueur ( LCBO 380865, $32.45 ) isn’t only great in hot drinks; with its cinnamon and vanilla richness, it’s also delicious over ice cream, or use it in an iced or blended coffee.

Malibu Coconut Rum Liqueur ( LCBO 477836, $25.95 ) is a shortcut to tropical paradise when poured with orange and pineapple juice.
