RECIPES for Summer Drinks!

With rum set to be the spirit of this Summer, we are delighted to share some fabulous cocktail recipes from a handful of unique rum brands including Rhum Damoiseau, Saint Benevolence, Montanya and Ron Compañero! We’ve included all of the following recipes

Bar Resto: A fun and fruity affair, this cocktail serves up Saint Benevolence rum clairin mixed with pineapple, lime and celery juice alongside a star anise pod, making Bar Resto an incredibly fragrant cocktail that is shaken and then strained to serve.

Pink Guava Negroni: Bursting with colour and exotic fruit, this cocktail brings a twist to the classic Italian favourite. Rhum Damoiseau’s Arrangé Pink Guava is combined with Campari and vermouth for a simple serve that is great for sophisticated Summer sipping.

Banana Mai Tai: Following on with the fruit theme, @servedbysoberon has created a Banana Mai Tai. This aperitif includes Ron Companero Gran Reserva, Giffard Banane du Brasil, lime and orgeat served over ice with a mint garnish – truly refreshing and unique!

Sandia Smash: An elegant, lively drink made with pureed watermelon, a squeeze of sweet agave and Montanya’s Platino rum. The smash is served with lots of ice and a lime wheel for a sophisticated and fruity aperitif that is great for entertaining.
