Now this is one liquor holiday that gets me excited. Well they all do, but that’s neither here nor there. Today we celebrate National Rum Day 2012 with Ron Abuelo Rums. So whether you’re of the Tiki mindset and love your Mai Tais and Swizzles, enjoy lounging on the beach with your Daiquiris and Mojitos, or do things down and dirty with simply a splash of Coke and lime, you’ll definitely want a bottle of this dark nectar by your side.
You may want to brush up on your sailor speak, because June 12th is ‘Sailor Jerry Day’. What is Sailor Jerry Day you might ask? It is the day William Grant & Sons takes to commemorate the life and times of Norman ‘Sailor Jerry’ Collins, the hard-living Navy tattoo artist for which its popular 92 proof rum is inspired upon.
With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, you can guarantee that party hosts will be blocking up the aisles at Tower in search of copious amounts of Patron, Jose Cuervo, and Avion tequila to celebrate the festivities. Did you know that more tequila is consumed on Cinco de Mayo than any other day throughout the year? That’s A LOT of agave. But what if you’re aren’t a fan of tequila?
As summer comes to a triumphant close, we can only look forward to fall looming right around the corner. The leaves begin their subtle change, cooler weather seeps its way into our hearts, and we trade in the comfort of poolside for the coziness of fireside. So what will you be drinking this fall season when the mercury begins to dip?
Yes. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the summer of 2011 in New Orleans, Louisiana. A strong, proud, and steadfast city tested by nature over the years with residents embodying the true testament of resilience in the face of adversity. On this true journey of self-discovery the city welcomed me with open arms and introduced me to a mistress named Tales of the Cocktail.
