With the sun (finally!) here, craft spiced rum Rumbullion has two fantastic serves to enjoy during the heatwave:
A Spiced Shandy sharing pitcher made with rum and wheat beer that is ideal for BBQs and social gatherings;
And a Maverick cocktail, which is a hipster twist on the espresso martini, combining rum, stout and cold brew coffee. The perfect sun-downer.
Rumbullion is based on the rich, full-bodied rums that sailors would have enjoyed centuries ago.It is a blend of the very finest high proof Caribbean rum, to which creamy Madagascan vanilla and a generous helping of zesty orange peel has been added and then finished with a handful of cassia and cloves and just a hint of cardamom.
It is available to buy from Master of Malt with an RRP £39.95
