The Blushing Rhum cocktail is made with Rhum Barbancourt Réserve Spéciale. The cocktail’s pink color is perfectly in theme with Valentine’s Day, and it’s an easy recipe with fresh ingredients.
Rhum Barbancourt Réserve Spéciale is distilled in Haiti from pure sugar cane juice (not molasses) and it is aged eight years in Limousin oak. The spirit boasts a powerful and complex flavor, bearing terroir-driven aromas, including fruit, vanilla, and pepper.
