August 08, 2022

With Summer in full swing and the much loved Notting Hill Carnival fast approaching, there's no better way to soak up those sunny vibes than with a rum cocktail. With a myriad of recipes available to us, we've picked out our favourite 5 for you to try.

Put half the rum, the sugar syrup and bitters in a mixing glass or jug. Add a few ice cubes and stir slowly with a mixing spoon until the outside of the glass feels cold. Add the rest of the rum and a few more ice cubes, then stir to just combine.

Strain the drink into a tumbler with 1-2 extra large ice cubes and garnish with the strip of orange peel.

2. Pain Killer
