The summer season is here and the hot sunny days are making us all think going to the beach and relaxing in the sand with a cocktail or two. With rum being the perfect spirit for summer and Pirate’s Grog being the perfect rum for any occasion, we have decided to share with you some of our favourite summertime cocktails using, what else... Pirate’s Grog Five Year Rum.

We have organised these cocktails from the easiest, to the most difficult, but you can make whichever one you want and feel confident knowing that you will be mixing the perfect cocktail every time with Pirate’s Grog Rum.

Easy

Golden Pistol

Capitalising on the popularity of ginger beer, this is an easy summer cocktail

that not only tastes good, but it perfect for those sunny afternoon BBQ’s.

Ingredients:

4ml Ginger Ale

2ml Pirate's Grog Rum

Squeeze of Fresh Lime

Directions:

Combine ginger ale and Pirate's Grog Rum in a tall glass over ice, add a squeeze of lime and garnish with a lime wedge... Perfectly refreshing for a hot day.

Intermediate

Monkey Wrench

This cocktail is a little more involved as you will need to pick up a bottle of

bitters if you don’t already have one. No shaking or stirring required before

serving a Monkey Wrench as the rum, bitters and juice mix easily on their own.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 ml Pirate's Grog Rum

4 ml Grapefruit Juice

2 dashes Angostura Bitters

Maraschino Cherry (to garnish)

Directions:

Fill a tumbler with ice, combine the Pirate's Grog Rum, grapefruit juice and

Angostura Bitters. Shake or stir, garnish with the maraschino cherry and enjoy.

A Little More Difficult, But You Can Do It!

Blackberry Mojitos

Mojitos are a very popular rum drink that takes a little more time and skill to

make, but after you make a few, you will become a mojito master!

Ingredients:

6 large blackberries

8 mint leaves

1 ml Pirate's Grog Rum

½ to 1 ml simple syrup

Blackberries (to garnish)

⅓ ml lime juice

2 ml club soda

Directions:

In the bottom of a large glass, muddle together blackberries, mint leaves,

sugar/simple syrup, rum, and lime juice. Then add ice and pour in your favourite

club soda. Gently stir, garnish with a few whole blackberries and a sprig of mint

and enjoy!
