What is National Rum Day?

National Rum Day toasts the Caribbean spirit's centuries-old legacy, from its 17th-century origins as a fermented byproduct of sugar refining to its status as one of the world's most beloved drinks. Bars and distilleries worldwide mark the day with rum cocktails, tastings, and tributes to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the observance began.
