If there’s one thing that the women of the world can unite on, it’s our love of cocktails.

From Sex On The Beach to the classic Porn Star Martini, there’s always so much to choose from - and there’s something to suit everyone’s tastes in most cocktail bars.

We’ve scoured Pinterest for the best rum-based cocktails out there, and compiled our favourite five. Not only are these cocktails absolutely delicious, they’re also super easy and won’t break the bank!

If there’s a better excuse to get all the gals round for a cocktail-making evening, we’ve not heard it.

1) Classic Pina Colada

You can’t beat a pina colada on a hot summer’s day. Or a cold wintery day. Basically, you can drink this any time you want! You can get your hands on some coconut cream at your local Sainsbury’s.

2) Daiquiri

**Strawberry **

**Pineapple & Mango **

The Daiquiri is one of the most fun cocktails going!

Most people can get on board with a Daiquiri, since it’s basically an alcoholic slushy – bringing out your inner child, whilst appeasing your adult self!

All you need is a glug of rum, some fresh strawberries, lime juice and some ice. What could be easier?! There’s also a mango and pineapple version if you’re feeling more exotic!

3) Salted caramel rum hot chocolate

This mouth-watering concoction is perfect for the choco-holics amongst us. Simply mix caramel and rum together, then melt chocolate and mix in some milk. Combine the two with a pinch of sea salt and… voila!

4) Raspberry champagne rum punch

For the more fancy-pants of you, we’ve included a cocktail with a big splash of champagne in it. Throw in some rum, ginger ale and frozen raspberries. It’s really that easy.

5) Mixed berry mojito

This ever-so-pretty mixed berry mojito has got our Instagram-fueled pulses racing - and it’s got fruit in, so it’s basically healthy, right!?

Gather a handful of your favourite berries, a few fresh mint leaves, a generous helping of rum, carbonated water and a drop of sweetener. Could it be any easier?
