The origination of the Vieux Carré can be traced back to the Carousel Bar in New Orleans. Side Note: why does everything good come out of New Orleans? Like have you even heard NOLA jazz? Back to topic. The Vieux Carré is a stronger drink, containing rye whiskey and cognac, and is sure to get your money’s worth.

Just like with many rum drinks, Havana Cuba is the birthplace of the Mojito. The Mojito was originally popularized as a form of battling scurvy seen in long voyages from Europe to the New Americas, due to its use of lime. The lime, by itself, would have been a means to getting rid of the scurvy, but hey, might as well have some fun right?

Imagine a V8 drink. You know…, those “could’ve had a V8 *slap someone*” commercials. Well, we think that someone thought they were cheeky and made an alcoholic version of it. For best results, enjoy responsibly.

A fruity twist on a cocktail with a cachaça foundation, the Raspberry Caipirinha is unlike what most Americans experience in their cocktails. Cachaça is distilled from superfine sugar, creating a different consumption experience. A lovely spirit, the Raspberry Caipirinha shows why Cachaça should be enjoyed more frequently.

This isn’t just your normal Rum & Tonic. I mean… who would even make a “how-to” to make Rum & Tonic right? Although you’ll be drinking the liquid portions of this drink, the real action is happening with the garnishments that you’ll be dressing your drink with. Once assembled, make sure to let the drink sit for a few minutes to really soak up the array of flavors.
