Sensational Summer Cocktails from Hattiers Rum

This summer why not just sit back, relax and enjoy the sunshine (or clouds?) while sipping on a refreshing Hattiers Rum cocktail?

They are certain to put you in a sunny mood, no matter what the weather, Hattiers Rum's Eminence Blended Aged White Rum is the essence of summer and quite simply delightful in cocktails at summer garden parties and picnics, savoured on a balmy summer's evening over ice, or enjoying neat at the poolside. Eminence Blended Aged White Rum is available from hattiers.com, £37.50, 42% ABV, 70cl.

It's the UK's first B Corp certified rum, Hattiers has a fresh take on the traditional art of rum blending with an uncompromising approach to quality and sustainability.  Sourcing fine aged rums from over 25 distilleries around the world, their versatile and accessible blends consist of carefully selected rums married together along with pure Dartmoor water at their Devon blending house and distillery.

With light and attractive soft fruit notes and a vanilla pod, creamy fudge and ripe pineapple aroma, Hattiers' Eminence Blended Aged White Rum is the quintessence of summer.  Crafted using cask rums from Barbados, Australia, Trinidad and Jamaica, this smooth, dry blended aged white rum has a great depth of flavour and character.  With a fruity but not sweet taste, it enjoys a gentle nutty pineapple aftertaste and long cream finish and is perfect enjoyed either neat, with a mixer or to create beautiful summer cocktails such as a Daiquiri and Mojito.

Here are two of Hattiers' favourite summertime cocktails using their delicious Eminence Blended Aged White Rum, which are simple to create at home.

Hattiers Rum - Classic Rum Daiquiri

When it comes to cocktails, Hattiers value tradition and simplicity of the art above all else. That's why they stick to a classic daiquiri recipe using their premium blended aged white rum and just two other ingredients. However, if you wish to add some strawberries, pineapple or even passion fruit to the mix, they won't hold it against you.

What you'll need...

60ml. Hattiers Eminence Blended Aged White Rum

30 ml. Lime juice

15 ml. Sugar syrup

1 lime wedge for garnish

What to do...

Add all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker

Shake vigorously

Strain into a pre-chilled coupe glass

Garnish with the wedge of lime

Hattiers Rum - The Eminence Julep

Rum cocktails don't come much more refreshing than The Eminence Julep.  A Mint Julep is traditionally a bourbon cocktail best known for being the signature drink of the Kentucky Derby, but with Hattiers' rum twist, it shouldn't be reserved for just one day of the year!

What you'll need...

60ml Hattiers Eminence Blended Aged White Rum

1 Lime

A large handful of Mint Leaves

½ oz sugar or simple syrup

What to do...

Press a handful of mint leaves in a julep cup or glass with ¼ oz sugar or simple syrup. You don't need to muddle, just press

Add the remaining ¼ oz simple syrup or sugar and 60ml Eminence Blended Aged White Rum

Fill your glass with crushed ice, forming a mound on top

Finish with a lime and mint garnish

The Hattiers Rum range is available at hattiers.com as well as Waitrose & Partners, Harvey Nichols, Master of Malt, Fortnum & Mason, The Whisky Exchange, Enotria & Coe and Drink Finder. 

Hattiers Rum is immensely proud to steadfastly refuse to use any colourants to make their rums appear darker and don't add sugar to their blends.  They believe people should know what they're drinking, and therefore all component rums, countries of origin, age and distillation methods are detailed on the back label of each and every bottle.  Other premium rums in their range include Egremont Premium Reserve Rum and Resolute Navy Strength Rum.
