International Rum Day 16th Aug – Our favourite Rum songs!

It’s the best drinking day in the calender!  Whether you like your rum dark, golden or white – with coke or lime and mint there’s a way to enjoy rum for everyone 😉

There’s the perfect service mojito recipe at the end – but just before that I’m going to share some songs that mention the great spirit in the interests of a bit of fun!

CAB Collective – Beautiful Scars

“Rum, rum, rum made us rich and then rum made us poor”

Brothers Osborne – Rum

“Two parts love and a pinch of good weather And top it all off with the sun and mix it with rum”

The Andrews Sisters – Rum and Coca Cola

“Drinkin rum and Coca Cola”

The lovely people at Havana Club have shared this infographic on preparing the perfect mojito!  Mmmmm…Mojitos!

If mint and lime isn’t your thing – you can pretty much make a mojito style drink out of any fruit.  The Groove Cafe in Santa Teresa Gallura, Sardinia helped me make this watermelon Mojito from their abundant stocks of watermelons that grow on the island!
