Watchlist
What You’ll Learn
The rum portion in our 'Intro to...' classes. We'll be going through the rum colour spectrum, from white to dark and discussing how the flavour change as the colour does? We'll go into the exotic and bloody history of this sweet spirit. How did rum go from being a localised island spirit to a global phenomenon? Along with a look into the production of rum, we'll delve into three of our favourite rum-based cocktails - the hemingway daquiri, the queens park swizzle, and the ever popular dark & stormy. All participants will get a chance to taste the rums in question, and make their favorite cocktail from the class.
