Rum is a tipple for all seasons, but celebrate National Rum Day summer-style with a tropical rum punch using Two Drifters Overproof Spiced Pineapple Rum, with fresh pineapple, sweet caramel and spiced vanilla notes. Best served with 4 tbsp of rum, 1 tsp grenadine, 85mls pineapple juice with 4 tbsp orange juice and ice. Or for their signature serve, try shaking your favourite flavour of Two Drifters rum with an invigorating and spicy Luscombe Cool or Hot Ginger Beer, plenty of ice and a squeeze of zesty lime.

Organic chemist, Russ Wakeham co-founded Two Drifters with his wife Gemma in 2019, Russ comments: “We use 100% UK molasses and don't add any sugar to our recipe which creates a beautifully smooth and dry rum. With drinkers increasingly searching for high-end rums, we've been blown away by the popularity of our range. On National Rum Day we'll be shaking up some cocktails and celebrating this delicious spirit!” 

Two Drifters are incredibly passionate about the environment and have created the world's first carbon negative rum distillery just outside of Exeter. The business is entirely carbon negative, from field to glass. Their building, equipment and van are electric, and they offset any emissions their chain does incur with Direct Air Capture, working in partnership with Climeworks to convert CO2 into chalk, which can then be buried in the ground. 

Overproof Spiced Pineapple Rum (63% ABV) is available to buy from www.twodriftersrum.com at £45 per 70cl bottle.

Notes to editors

Rum is traditionally distilled in the Caribbean and America, and is typically associated with sailors and cheap holiday drinks.  But the 'rumaissance' is turning the tide back to British shores and premium products. Devon based Two Drifters Distillery is leading the offering in craft-focused, high quality flavoured and spiced rums. All their rums are produced in the distillery in Exeter, including the spicing process, so that each rum is 100% British. 

The full range includes:

Spiced Rum tastes dry, crisp with notes of vanilla, mixed spice and a subtle hint of star anise. Best served with ginger beer, fresh lime and plenty of ice.

Dark Rum is full-bodied with a burnt sugar and treacle taste. For the perfect serve mix with cola, fresh lemon juice and ice.

White Rum is refreshingly crisp, fresh and fruity and ideally served with ice, tonic and a squeeze of fresh lime.
