Cruzan Peach Rum

Product Description

Cruzan Peach Rum: 21% ABV Peach-Flavored Rum for Light Tropical Cocktails

Cruzan Peach Rum combines Cruzan's light rum style with the flavor of ripe peach. Bottled at 21% ABV, it is a lower-proof flavored rum designed primarily for long drinks, punches and fruit-forward cocktails rather than the concentrated sipping profile of an aged rum.

The peach character is sweet and direct, with a light cane-spirit base and enough acidity to avoid reading entirely like syrup. The lower alcohol content makes it easy to lengthen with soda, iced tea, lemonade or sparkling wine.

Because it already supplies fruit and sweetness, cocktails generally need less juice and simple syrup than they would with unflavored rum. Fresh lemon or lime is the most useful balancing ingredient.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Ripe peach, peach candy and light cane sugar, with a soft citrus freshness.

Palate: Juicy peach and mild tropical fruit over a smooth, lightly sweet rum base.

Finish: Clean and fruity, with lingering peach and very little alcohol heat.

Food Pairings

• Prosciutto: salt and fat contrast the sweet peach flavor.
• Grilled pork: peach complements savory pork and caramelized char.
• Blue cheese: strong salty cheese balances the fruit-driven rum.
• Peach cobbler: baked peach and spice reinforce the flavor while pastry absorbs sweetness.

Serving Suggestions

Mix with iced tea for a peach-rum tea, combine with lemonade and soda, or use in a peach Daiquiri with fresh lime. For a drier highball, pour over ice with sparkling water and a lemon wheel.

Store upright at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not required, but chilling before service can make the fruit profile feel cleaner.
