Rum&Sum is a range of naturally flavored rum spirits with no added sugar, and it offers a refreshingly different experience of rum that a new generation of drinkers will appreciate.

Rum&Sum challenges what consumers know about rum and as founder Hannah Boon says, "They create really natural [refreshing spritzers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funkin-spritz). You can pair them with tonic, lemonade or ginger ale. They’re also great to use as a base for cocktails like Piña Coladas or Mojitos—especially if you’re doing them at home. You don’t have to buy lots of different ingredients because the spirit does a lot of the work for you.”

Raspberry & Crushed Mint and [Pineapple & Coconut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/malibu-and-dole) are the brand's two flavors and a new one is set to join the naturally flavored rum spirits lineup as of 2024.
