This National Rum Day, August 16, you can help protect the ocean while enjoying delicious rum cocktails. Mount Gay Rum is releasing a limited-edition National Rum Day cocktail kit, that features the essential ingredients to craft delicious Black Barrel Classic Daiquiri cocktails, along with complementary items that help honor and protect the ocean:
Over its 300-year history, Mount Gay is deeply connected to the ocean, from its island roots in Barbados, the birthplace of rum, to the tropical climate that influences each bottle and its longstanding connection to sailing. Mount Gay's history, craftsmanship and community are truly united by the ocean. The ocean contributes to the distinct flavors of each bottle, due to the coral filtered water that plays an integral role in the production process. Protecting the ocean is a priority for the brand, which can trace its distinct flavor profiles back to the bounty of its island waters.
You can join Mount Gay Rum in protecting and celebrating the ocean by purchasing a kit. Kits are available on Cocktail Courier.
