DON PAPA RUM AND RUN RABBIT RUM ARE RAISING THE BAR TO CREATE A ONE OF A KIND VIRTUAL BAR EXPERIENCE

With bar businesses being one of the major industries hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, Cocktails To Go is an online cocktail delivery service that provides bartenders with a platform to stay on top of their game while supporting the call for bar regulars to stay home and enjoy their favorite cocktails.

Don Papa Rum and Run Rabbit Rum captured the exciting yet easygoing vibe of a bar through a fun Zoom session hosted by Bleeding Heart Rum Co.’s Program Development Manager Aaron Goodall, with signature drinks crafted by RRR’s head bartender Enzo Luna, and bartender Christina Soudji.

As Goodall puts it, now that we are in General Community Quarantine, Don Papa Rum is very much open to exploring more ways to get customers to enjoy their drinks through online deliveries.

According to Luna, they were quite fortunate to already be exploring and developing the logistics behind Cocktails To Go before the pandemic hit, allowing them to be ahead of the curve in providing a solution for rum enthusiasts to enjoy their cocktails during the quarantine.

“This ECQ has also been an opportunity for us to hone our craft and share our knowledge with fellow bartenders,” Soudji added.

The Virtual Bar Session featured three Don Papa Rum cocktails concocted by the Run Rabbit Run bartenders.

Banana Rum Daiquiri

A light, classic cocktail that features a perfect balance of rum, sugar, and lime with a touch of banana liqueur for an enticing, tropical touch.

 

Masskara Old Fashioned

 

A local take on the classic bar favorite Old Fashioned, this blend features the locally spiced tasting profile of Don Papa Masskara with a touch of aromatic bitters. The cocktail is peppered with subtle citrus notes, hints of honey, and siling labuyo that adds a kick of spice and heat to the drink.

 

Don Chocoroni

This is a localized take of the Kingston Negroni made even better with Don Papa Rum. The cocktail is infused with cacao husk to give this special negroni a rich balance of vanilla, chocolate, and tart.

With our country slowly but carefully easing into the ‘New Normal’, there’s still a long way before we can go back to our regular nights out in our favorite bars. But that does not mean we can’t enjoy the connection and conversations with our friends over Zoom with our favorite cocktails in hand. 

You can also have your very own virtual bar and cocktail experience with your Don Papa Rum favorites through Run Rabbit Run’s Cocktails To Go, available here.
