What is a rum and mountain dew?
Sometimes this drink is called rum & dew, Maladew Captain Dew or even a voodoo dew. But, at the end of the day this cocktail is simply rum and mountain dew mixed together. The name may change dependent on what type of from you use.
We chose to use Bacardi to mix with our mountain dew. Bacardi mix seamlessly with the mountain dew resulting in a cocktail that quite frankly just mostly taste like mountain dew with a little hint of rum.
If rum is not your jam, but you still want to use mountain dew as a mixer, we might try out vodka and mountain dew, whiskey mountain dew or, Brandy and mountain dew
