Summer inspires tiki-style cocktails. Bartenders know what’s up, so when the sun is shining, cocktail menus are all about tiki!
According to most bartenders, using natural ingredients make all the difference in their cocktail creations. Bartenders hoping to add that coconut kick—because let’s face it, it doesn’t get more tiki than coconut—will use spirits made using authentic coconut flavors.
Sipping on a Mai Tai or Colada made with RumHaven (crafted using premium Caribbean rum, real coconut water, and pure cane sugar) inspires a tropical oasis for anyone yearning for some “me” time away from their busy lives. RumHaven simplifies the process of mixing classic and modern tiki-style cocktails.
