Nothing like a Hawaiian Rum to make you feel like you're on a tropical vacation!
Get to know the Hawaiian rum brand, the rums Kōloa offers, the ready-to-drink options, and let's make some delicious rum cocktails to get us started!
Hawaiian Rum
Since 2009, the Koloa rum company has produced single-batch premium Hawaiian rums in Mount Waiʻaleʻale. With pristine rainwater and pure cane sugar, the rum is remarkably smooth. As the "first licensed distillery on the island of Kauaʻi," you can certainly say that the Kōloa Rum brand has established itself.
Everything is locally sourced, so you're getting a taste of Hawaii itself. The Kōloa Rum brand prides itself on staying true to its Hawaiian heritage and roots.
Kōloa Rums
Whether you find yourself looking for a light, gold, dark, or spice rum, Kōloa has an option for all of you.
Kōloa Rums are twice distilled in a vintage copper pot. The steam-powered copper pot still carries 1,210 gallons of filtered water. Let's get to know the four essential rums!
First up, we have Kōloa Kaua'i White Hawaiian Rum. It's clean, smooth, and a bit dry. It's the perfect white rum as a base for your rum cocktails!
Next, we have Kōloa Kaua'i Gold Hawaiian Rum. It's nutty and rich in flavor, giving it a warm and roasted feel. It's a delicious and decadent gold rum.
Kōloa Kaua'i Spice Hawaiian Rum is an excellent option if you're looking for a spiced rum. It's not the overly sweet spiced rum you usually see on the market. It's a bit more balanced, with robust flavors of baklava, honey, and walnuts.
And finally, we have the highly flavorful dark rum, Kōloa Kauaʻi Dark Rum. It's a vanilla driven dark rum that also has indulgent flavors of espresso and semi-sweet dark chocolate. Each sip is an experience.
Flavored Rums
The options continue. Kōloa also has some flavored rums that will spice up your rum game.
Kōloa Kauaʻi Coffee Rum. This one is for coffee lovers. It's rich, with flavors of coffee and vanilla. You'll also notice some fruity notes the more you sip! It makes exceptional coffee-flavored cocktails!
For the chocolate lovers, we have Kōloa Kauai Cacao Chocolate Hawaiian Rum. It's buttery, smooth, and balanced.

Rum Cocktail Recipes
Rum cocktails are the best to make you feel like you're on a vacation somewhere sunny and tropical. There's nothing quite like them.
Let's learn how to make a classic Piña Colada and Mai Tai!
Piña Colada
There's nothing like a Piña Colada to transport you out of reality and into a tropical fantasy. Here's what you'll need for the refreshing drink:
Instructions
It's time to get out the blenders for this one. Add your pineapple juice, Kōloa Kaua'i White Rum, cream of coconut, and roughly a cup of crushed ice to a blender. Blend until you have a smooth consistency.
Pour into a tall glass and garnish with a pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry! Serve and enjoy!
Mai Tai
Time for a Mai Tai! Piña Coladas aren't the only cocktails that will transport you somewhere tropical. A Mai Tai will do the same. Here's what you'll need to make you feel like you're enjoying the sunshine in Hawaii:
Instructions
Into a cocktail shaker, add your Kōloa Kaua'i White Rum, orange curaçao, orgeat, lime juice, and a handful of fresh ice. Shake well! Strain into a cocktail glass with fresh crushed ice.
If you're looking for that fun Mai Tai gradient effect, pour your Koloa Dark Rum slowly over the back of a spoon. This will give you the gradient effect.
Garnish with a lemon slice and a sprig of mint. Enjoy!
