Lean Into The Long Weekend With These Delish Spiced Rum Cocktails
Here we are on the cusp of a long weekend, and bloody hell do we need it. You know what else we need, whether you’re staying home or taking advantage of the increasing number of borders opening around the country? Cocktails. Lots of them. All weekend.
Luckily, Barcardi have just release their Spiced flavour — gold rum mellowed in charred American Oak for a hint of smokiness and blended with natural flavours and spices, including vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon — and shared a couple of ‘island in the sun’ -esque cocktail recipes to go with it.
