With a flavor reminiscent of the classic navy rums of the US Virgin Islands, Cruzan® Black Strap Rum introduces black strap molasses—an ingredient renowned for its robust flavor—to our signature aged dark rum. The result is a balanced, but rich spirit beloved by bartenders everywhere. Try it as a floater on top of tropical drinks like the Mai Tai and Piña Colada or mix it up in a Jungle Bird.
