Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Rum has come a long way from “bumbo” (rum, sugar, water and nutmeg), a favourite of pirates, and “grog” (rum mixed with beer) a past staple of the Royal Navy. Today rum, originally produced in the Caribbean and Latin America and made from sugar cane, is a must-have for any bartender’s liquor cabinet. Mojitos, mai tais, daiquiris, piña coladas, Cuba libres and tried-and-true rum and colas are just a few of the many libations that just aren’t the same without rum. In honour of this classic spirit, our featured Bar Stars, Chambar’s General Manager Justin Tisdall and Bar Manager Wendy McGuinness, have created three original rum cocktails to add to the list. Enjoy trying out these summer-inspired recipes!
