August’s cocktail of the month as featured in #rumspiration_magazine - perfect to kick start the holiday weekend 🍹🍹

King Crimson
A progressive drink named after a progressive band! The Witch Kings are forever searching for unique ways to partner drinks & music, which is the inspiration for this cocktail. This recipe was adapted from one of Witch Kings Rum's best-selling cocktails, the Deep Purple.
This tart and tangy delight has a sour tropical twist, layering hibiscus syrup, pineapple juice, and lemon juice, before bringing it home with the hardest shake you can muster! This lets the proteins in the pineapple juice create the foam on top of the drink.
Recipe:
50ml Saint James Rhum VSOP or Trash & Treasure rum
37.5ml @witchkingsrum Hibiscus Syrup
50ml @frobishersjuices Pineapple Juice
25ml @sunitafinefoods Lemon Juice
Method
Hard shake all ingredients and strain into a Martini glass or coupe.
Garnish with a sprig of mint or hibiscus.
Bonus garnish:
Carefully drop 3 beads of Bitters on top of the drink, equally spaced.
Take a thin stick (e.g. the end of a mint stalk, or a pour spout), and swipe it through the 3 circles in one smooth motion.
You should be left with 3 love hearts - good luck!"

Old Fashioned Roots
For this Cocktail of the Month, we wanted to take a classic recipe and upcycle it into the modern day! The traditionally Whisky-based “Old Fashioned” seemed the perfect choice to play with for such a purpose.
Of course, we couldn't just chuck some ice & sugar in, give it a stir, and call it a day. We developed a Ginger Syrup as a replacement for sugar in the Old Fashioned recipe.
Therefore, taking ten minutes to make an Old Fashioned is not necessary for this build, as such a long stir-time is normally to ensure the sugar has fully dissolved. Though the ice must still dilute the spirit appropriately during construction, this is a straightforward and delicious recipe you can use to elevate almost any rum.
Recipe:
50ml Saint James Rhum VSOP or Trash & Treasure
12.5ml Ginger Syrup
Orange peel for garnish
Method
Add all ingredients into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange twist.
Optional Extra: Add two dashes of bitters

Trash and Treasure uses botanicals, weeds and discarded peels to create a truly unique 100% natural spiced botanical rum. The creative journey helped flip the perspective on ingredients by utilising weeds and waste because one person’s trash is another’s treasure.
The inspiration was a weed, Taraxacum, more commonly known as the humble dandelion. Discovering dandelion could be turned into a botanical that creates a beautiful spice was a break through. Warner's originally foraged the dandelion roots in local fields around the distillery. Once harvested they air dry above the stills and roast the root to create a uniquely British spice.
The roasted dandelion root is distilled with waste from over-ripe brown bananas and orange peel, farm-grown lemon verbena and several other spices including smoky black cardamom. The resulting tropical white Jamaican rum base, has a second round of botanicals soaked in it, with more roasted dandelion root, fresh orange, grapefruit peel and cassia bark resulting in dark colour without the need to add artificial colouring.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE: Fresh orange & grapefruit, aromas of sponge pudding, caramel and honey
PALETE: A soft and creamy sweetness with a combination of Dandelion & Sichuan spice, vanilla and cinnamon
FINISH: A super tasty finish with a toasted earthiness, hints of vanilla, banana, and orange
Enjoy 😊 🍹🍹💥

TASTING NOTES
Appearance: Bright mahogany
Nose: Cacao & delicate spices with woody and vanilla. Fruity notes of peach and apricot.
Palate: Perfect balance of toasted and roasted notes, sweet spices (vanilla, cinnamon). The wood is perfectly integrated, and the finish is clean and long.
VSOP translates to 'VERY SUPERIOR OLD PALE’
Saint James sugarcane plantations are located East on the mountainside, a specifically humid area where the cane is ‘fresh’, meaning the juice will taste of fresh cane juice. Saint James rhums are produced by the fermentation of pure cane juice followed by distillation in Creole columns. Each stage of Saint James rhum production in the distillery is designed to minimise the impact on the environment. The harvest runs from March till the end of July. During the “campaign” the distillery is smoking 5 days a week. At Saint James the fermentation is quick in order to preserve all the naturality of the freshly cut sugar cane. In 48 hours, a “cane wine” around 5% ABV is produced. For the distillation traditional creole columns are used. A lot of congeners and esters in the new rhum are left and is why agricole is always very aromatic compared to light rum. A tropical ageing and a bottling is mandatory for the AOC Martinique:Rhum VSOP: minimum 4 years.
Enjoy your rum of the month 🍹🍹🍹🍹✅🏆🇲🇶🇲🇶🇲🇶
