Comment
You hear the word RUM and what springs to mind? For me Rum is synonymous with capricious summer days spent on the common, where all the best laid plans go to waste simply because the sun decided to shine.
Nowadays I've tempered the urge to down tools and lose a day simply because it's got above 25 degrees for the first time in 6 months. However, the appreciation for a decent rum co*cktail has not diminished.
As many of you know I've been working alongside Don Papa this last month, exploring their distilleries and sugar mills in Mount Kanlaon, where sugarcane thrives on its lush, fertile foothills.It's reacquainted my love affair for rum and given me license to exercise my creative mixology skills and here are my top 3 Don Papa Rum co*cktails.
1.THE NEGRENSE SOUR
This co*cktail paints a vivid portrait of Sugarlandia. Charged with agave syrup and lime, it’s straight from a place that believes in revolutionary ideals. Take a sip and enjoy the smooth flavour of a nation’s pride.
Ingredients
• 4 parts Don Papa Rum
• 2 parts fresh lime juice
• 1 part agave syrup (or brown sugar syrup)
• 1 egg white
Method
In a shaker pour in the Don Papa Rum and add in agave syrup instead of sugar. Squeeze in the juice of half a lime and add the egg white. Shake vigorously so that you create a light foam. Now add some ice and shake again. Serve in a whiskey glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lime peel and finish with 3 drops of bitters on the foam.
2.THE PAPA NEGRONI
This Don Papa twist on the classic co*cktail will inspire and liberate your senses through its balanced taste of bitter and sweet, much like the life of the legend himself.
Ingredients
• 4 parts Don Papa Rum
• 2 parts white vermouth
• 3 parts Apérol
Method
In a mixing glass filled with ice, add the bitter Apérol, white vermouth and Don Papa Rum. Stir gently. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and a grapefruit wedge.
3.THE DARKER DON
We celebrate the Don’s burning passion for independence. Experience the resilient spirit of Don Papa with this refreshing co*cktail. Taste the wild lime juice which twists the palette, causing an explosion of sweet yet sour flavour.
Ingredients
• 4 parts Don Papa Rum
• 1 part fresh lime juice
• Ginger beer • Mint
Method
In a highball glass filled with ice, squeeze the juice of half a lime. Charge with Don Papa Rum and top with a spicy ginger beer. Stir with a co*cktail spoon and add a mint leaf sprig to garnish.
