Sensational Summer Cocktails from Hattiers Rum

This summer, sit back, relax and enjoy the sunshine while sipping on a refreshing Hattiers Rum cocktail.  Sure to put you in a sunny mood, Hattiers Rum's Eminence Blended Aged White Rum is the essence of summer and quite simply delightful in cocktails at summer garden parties and picnics, savoured on a balmy summer's evening over ice, or enjoying neat poolside.  Eminence Blended Aged White Rum is available from hattiers.com, £37.50, 42% ABV, 70cl.

The UK's first B Corp certified rum, Hattiers has a fresh take on the traditional art of rum blending with an uncompromising approach to quality and sustainability.  Sourcing fine aged rums from over 25 distilleries around the world, their versatile and accessible blends consist of carefully selected rums married together along with pure Dartmoor water at their Devon blending house and distillery.

With light and attractive soft fruit notes and a vanilla pod, creamy fudge and ripe pineapple aroma, Hattiers' Eminence Blended Aged White Rum is the quintessence of summer.  Crafted using cask rums from Barbados, Australia, Trinidad and Jamaica, this smooth, dry blended aged white rum has a great depth of flavour and character.  With a fruity but not sweet taste, it enjoys a gentle nutty pineapple aftertaste and long cream finish and is perfect enjoyed either neat, with a mixer or to create beautiful summer cocktails such as a Daiquiri and Mojito.

Here are two of Hattiers' favourite summertime cocktails using their delicious Eminence Blended Aged White Rum, which are simple to create at home.

Hattiers Rum - Classic Rum Daiquiri

When it comes to cocktails, Hattiers value tradition and simplicity of the art above all else. That's why they stick to a classic daiquiri recipe using their premium blended aged white rum and just two other ingredients. However, if you wish to add some strawberries, pineapple or even passion fruit to the mix, they won't hold it against you.

What you'll need...

• 60ml. Hattiers Eminence Blended Aged White Rum
• 30 ml. Lime juice
• 15 ml. Sugar syrup
• 1 lime wedge for garnish

What to do...

• Add all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker
• Shake vigorously
• Strain into a pre-chilled coupe glass
• Garnish with the wedge of lime
  
  

Hattiers Rum - The Eminence Julep

Rum cocktails don't come much more refreshing than The Eminence Julep.  A Mint Julep is traditionally a bourbon cocktail best known for being the signature drink of the Kentucky Derby, but with Hattiers' rum twist, it shouldn't be reserved for just one day of the year!

What you'll need...

• 60ml Hattiers Eminence Blended Aged White Rum

• 1 Lime
• A large handful of Mint Leaves
• ½ oz sugar or simple syrup

What to do...

• Press a handful of mint leaves in a julep cup or glass with ¼ oz sugar or simple syrup. You don't need to muddle, just press
• Add the remaining ¼ oz simple syrup or sugar and 60ml Eminence Blended Aged White Rum
• Fill your glass with crushed ice, forming a mound on top
• Finish with a lime and mint garnish

The Hattiers Rum range is available at hattiers.com as well as Waitrose & Partners, Harvey Nichols, Master of Malt, Fortnum & Mason, The Whisky Exchange, Enotria & Coe and Drink Finder. 

Hattiers Rum is immensely proud not to use colourants to make their rums appear darker and don't add sugar to their blends.  They believe people should know what they are drinking, and therefore all component rums, countries of origin, age and distillation methods are detailed on the back label of each and every bottle.  Other premium rums in their range include Egremont Premium Reserve Rum and Resolute Navy Strength Rum.

Notes to Editor

1. Established in 2017, Hattiers Rum is the brainchild of Philip Everett-Lyons and came to life after Philip and his wife moved back home to the beautiful South Hams in Devon.  After a chat with a friend in a local pub one evening about importing a barrel of rum, then selling a few bottles to cover the cost, Philip quickly saw there was an opportunity for rums that weren't a single estate and were perfect for people coming to rum for the first time.  And so, Hattiers Rum was born.
2. In November 2020 they joined over 4,000 companies across 77 countries, to become the United Kingdom's first B Corp Rum.
3. Other rums in Hattiers Rum range include;
   1. Egremont Premium Reserve Rum
      A premium sipping rum, Egremont is a blend of four cask aged rums hand picked from across the Caribbean and Central America and gently paired with pure soft spring water from the hills of Dartmoor.  Filtered by layer upon layer of ancient granite, Dartmoor spring water balances the alcoholic strength of the base rums to a more accessible level, giving Hattiers Rums' a long and creamy finish.  A fragrant, medium bodied rum that is complex yet accessible, Egremont is superb enjoyed neat, over ice or used in cocktails.  £42.00, 40% ABV, 70 cl.
   2. Resolute Navy Strength Rum
      A blended aged navy strength rum, made using rums from Barbados, Australia, Guyana and Jamaica,  Hattiers' Resolute Navy Strength Rum has a toasted brown sugar and charred oak aroma followed by warm banana.  On the palate it has an intensity of fruit with pineapple, apple, banana, mango and a buttery pastry taste with darker notes of liquorice which linger.  Wafts of coal smoke drift in on the finish, with a dominance of banana cream.  £56.00, 54.5% ABV, 70cl.
