When it comes to trends, rum is the new It spirit. Tropical drinks are fashionable again, including rum breezes, and rum consumption is ticking up in North America. With all this attention, distillers are upping their game with exciting premium rums that make great cocktail bases. Our Spiced Citrus Flip takes advantage of seasonal citrus in combination with very good rum. Serve in a coupe if you don’t have a Nick & Nora glass.
