It’s time to take a break from the scorching heat and cool down on National Rum Day, Tuesday, August 16th, with the perfect summer drink. The rum category is experiencing a revival among tiki enthusiasts and spirits connoisseurs alike for its versatility and depth. To celebrate this spirited holiday, sip on ultra-premium Zacapa Rum.
Hailing from Guatemala, Zacapa Rum is aged in the “House Above the Clouds” at 7,500 feet above sea level. Zacapa Rum is crafted through a dynamic and artisanal process that results in a distinguished spirit with notes of caramel, vanilla, and almond.
For National Rum Day, raise a glass of Zacapa Rum either neat, on the rocks, or in a mixed summer cocktail such as the Las Fresas, with plenty of fresh seasonal fruit.
