Orchard Rum Smash

But, WHY is the rum gone!? We’re guessing someone got their hands on this irresistible smash recipe made with perfectly ripe orchard fruits, Ginger SweetShine, and summer’s favorite spirit, RUM!

What you need:

Fresh peaches

Fresh cherries

Fresh lime

Fresh mint

Turbinado sugar (any sugar will work, but we like turbinado best)

Ginger SweetShine

Aged white rum

Club soda

In a short glass, combine:

1 tbsp. sugar

2 peach slices

2 lime wedges

2 fresh cherries

5 mint leaves

Add 3/4 oz Ginger SweetShine.

Muddle by pressing and twisting to release the juices and oils from the fruit.

At this point we recommend transferring the mixture into a shaker tin then straining it back into the glass.

Fill the glass with ice, then add 2 oz rum.

Stir.

Top with club soda and garnish with fresh fruit and mint.

Orchard Rum Smash with Ginger SweetShine.

Cheers!

Cremma Lemma

Red, White, and Bubbly

Get ready for the 4th of July with some fizzy fun! We’re keeping this one nice and simple so you can just sip and relax this holiday weekend.

Here’s what you need:

1 tbsp strawberry puree

2 oz Cremma Lemma

3 oz champagne

(Really, though, you can use whatever ratios you like).

Don’t forget! The cream in Cremma Lemma rises to the top and forms an all-natural plug in the neck of the bottle, so if you’re trying to pour but nothing is coming out, just give it a good shake! And if a little piece of the plug pours out, eat it! It tastes like boozy cheesecake. BONUS!
