Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail
The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail has a few of the tropical essentials: first, it's based on rum; second, its flavor is fleshed out with fresh lime juice and the little-known syrup called falernum; and third, the name has both Caribbean and nautical overtones.
Daiquiri
Rum, lime, and sugar define the classic daiquiri; no garishly-colored slushies, please.
Partly Cloudy
A riff on a Dark and Stormy; the resemblance comes in the pairing of ginger and rum (and, well, the name). At the Spotted Pig, bar manager Ryan Gannon makes his own falernum: a sweet syrup that uses allspice and ginger and clove and lime zest steeped in over-proof rum "until it gets nice and happy," when it's combined with simple syrup with almond extract; in the drink, it commingles with lime and grapefruit juice along with Mount Gay rum, Aperol, and ginger beer.
Rum Shrub
For the rum, choose something dark and, if you want to replicate the Colonial experience, something funky.
Planter's Punch
Hold the sweet juices and the pineapple; a traditional Planter's Punch is a clean, icy drink of rum, lime, and bitters.
Queen's Park Swizzle
Several months ago I spoke with Forbidden Island owner Martin Cate for an article I was writing about ice and cocktails (the article is in the September/October issue of Imbibe). While talking about swizzles--a classic style of Caribbean drink made with well-packed crushed ice, hence a slow-sipper of a drink--Martin recommended the ancestral swizzle, a true tropical drink that launched countless imitators, called the Queen's Park Swizzle.
Test Pilot
This Don the Beachcomber classic was created around 1941. As Paul Clarke notes on his blog, Cocktail Chronicles, the key is the combination of Angostura bitters and Pernod.
Mai Tai
The true Mai Tai is a vacation in a glass, bearing little resemblance to the sweet, murky rum drink you've likely tried before.
Peachy Rum and Coconut Frozen Blended Cocktail
This rich and creamy frozen peach cocktail has a lot of spice from Angostura bitters and two kinds of rum. The dark rum float is an added boozy bonus, but if you'd like to keep the drink light, leave it off.
El Floridita Daiquiri
The El Floridita Daiquiri was popularly prepared in Havana in the 1930s, and is a slight variation on the original daiquiri that's worth adding to the regular drinks rotation.

Barbados Cocktail

This rum cocktail is just a little boozy and just a little sweet, with fresh lime to keep it bright. Think of it as a little island escape.
