Craft Gin Club's Compass Star is the perfect tropical rum cocktail!
Feb 5, 2024
This fabulous tropical fruit cocktail has to be one of the best ways to serve Mapmaker's Coastal Spiced Rum from Dunnet Bay Distillers, Craft Gin Club's February 2024 Rum of the Month.
A simple yet scrumptious mix of rum, mango juice and Craft Gin Club's very own Compass Star Cocktail Syrup, this cocktail is not to be missed by any rum fan.
What's more, you can get all three of these ingredients together in Craft Gin Club's February 2024 Rum of the Month box!
Craft Gin Club's Master Mixologist has developed this special cocktail recipe, but what makes this serve work so wonderfully well?
The answer to that is very simple indeed: the ingredients! Just like with Craft Gin Club's Gin of the Month boxes, nothing goes into our rum box that hasn't been taste-tested by our panel of experts and that attention to detail shines through in this delicious cocktail recipe.
Mapmaker's Coastal Spiced Rum is made using a mix of Dunnet Bay Distillers' twice-distilled House Rum and carefully selected Caribbean rum. They are aged together with the finest Scottish sea salt, kelp, scurvy grass and lemon verbena.
The result is a rum that's brimming with bursts of citrus, which are grounded by delectable caramel tones and a touch of salt that is simply sublime.
That flavour profile works incredibly well with the sweet, fragrant, authentic mango tones of Frobishers Mango Juice, which is made using only the best Alphonso mangos from southern India.
The Compass Star Cocktail Syrup then adds a fragrant bouquet of floral notes to the cocktail that lifts the whole experience.
