There's a good reason for this romantic tropical image. Rum is made from sugar, and is traditionally produced where cane sugar is grown, and that's in warmer, tropical climates Because of this tropical connection, rum-based cocktails often include tropical fruits or fruit juices. Pineapples, bananas and limes also play an important role in many rum cocktails.
