Captain Morgan Cannon Blast is a shot-forward flavored spiced rum from the world's number one selling spiced rum brand — built for the party crowd that wants bold flavor and a fun presentation. The cannonball-shaped matte black bottle with red cap is one of the most distinctive in the Captain Morgan lineup and practically sells itself on a party shelf. Cannon Blast leads with bright sweet citrus, then fires back with a warming spice finish from chipotle and jalapeño — a blast of sweet and a spark of heat in one shot.
Made from Caribbean rum with spice and natural flavors and bottled at 35% ABV (70 proof) — approachable enough to go down smooth as a chilled shot, with enough heat on the finish to give it genuine character. Gluten-free. Perfect as a shot on its own, mixed with lemonade for a fun party cocktail, or used as a bold base in tiki-style drinks. The bottle is also a conversation starter on any bar cart or party table.

Tasting Notes
Color: Clear to pale straw
Nose: Sweet citrus candy — orange, a hint of cherry, and light cinnamon on the edges. Fun and immediately inviting.
Palate: Citrus sweet up front with orange candy and mixed fruit notes, followed by a pop of warming cinnamon and chipotle pepper spice. Bold and playful, clearly engineered for shooting chilled.
Finish: A warming kick of jalapeño and cinnamon spice that lingers — the "unexpected kick" the bottle promises. Not overwhelming, but definitely there.
FAQ
What's in the spice that gives it heat?
Captain Morgan Cannon Blast gets its signature heat from chipotle and jalapeño flavors — a genuinely unexpected combination for a rum expression. The citrus-forward front end sets you up for sweetness, then the pepper spice delivers the blast on the finish. It is best served well chilled as a shot to maximize the contrast.
What cocktails can I make with Cannon Blast?
Cannon Blast works best as a chilled shot or dropped into lemonade for a bold citrus-spice party drink. It also pairs with beer as a boilermaker-style bomb shot. If you enjoy Fireball-style cinnamon shots, the heat profile here will feel familiar but with a citrus twist instead of cinnamon as the dominant note.
