National Rum Day is just around the corner!
On Tuesday, August 16th, there’s no better excuse to mix up an ice-cold cocktail to cool off and celebrate!
Cruzan Rum is the perfect go-to for the occasion and top mixologists from around the country are using their favorite expressions to whip up some amazing cocktails!
From Jane Danger (NYC, Cienfuegos) and Tiffanie Barriere (Atlanta, One Flew South) who combine the bold molasses flavors of Cruzan Black Strap with fresh ingredients like coconut water, strawberries, lime, and honey to Teddy Collins (Miami, Radio Bar) and Christian Guillen (Dallas, The Standard Pour) who created locally inspired cocktails featuring our aged light and dark expressions and more…
Cheers!
