We're kicking off our spiced rum cocktail series with a twist on an old classic... The Mojito.
We're kicking off our spiced rum cocktail series with a twist on an old classic... The Mojito.
Sales of rum have surpassed £1 billion (US$1.2bn) a year in the UK, meaning it now accounts for a bigger market share than whisky.
Any true pirate needs to know how to knock up a rum old fashioned! This classic cocktail was first invented somewhere between 1889 and 1895 by Martin Cuneo, for a Kentucky colonel named James E. Pepper who also happened to be a bourbon distiller.
It's fair to say that the nightlife and event industries in the UK have been some of the hardest hit industries in the country from Covid 19, and some businesses still aren't in a position to re-open under the current guidelines (as they lack outdoor and indoor space to facilitate social distancing rules).
OK, so it's technically Espresso Martini day, but as we all know, any vodka based cocktail made with rum is instantly better! None more so than an Espresso Rumtini with Pirate's Grog's devilishly dangerous Black Ei8ht Coffee Rum.
Every week we're going to be sharing with you our favourite Pirate's Grog cocktails and showing you the tricks of the trade, so you can become a home schooled mixologist!
