Why pandan works with rum cocktails

Pandan pairs naturally with dark rum thanks to its warm, aromatic flavour profile. Often described as having notes of vanilla, coconut and fresh herbs, pandan complements the molasses richness of rum while adding a subtle tropical aroma. Combined with spicy ginger beer and fresh lime, this cocktail becomes a refreshing yet complex rum highball.
