Rum Barrel
ClassicA three-rum tiki blockbuster, built on citrus, passion fruit, and honey.
Big, layered, and tropical. Three rums give it depth from bright to funky to fiery, three juices keep it lively and tart, and passion fruit and honey pull it together with a lush sweetness. Complex and strong, but the citrus keeps everything in motion.

The Story
The Rum Barrel is Don the Beachcomber in full maximalist mode: three rums, three juices, passion fruit, honey, and spice, traditionally served in a barrel-shaped mug big enough to justify the ingredient list. It belongs to the same family as the Zombie and the Navy Grog — the drinks that made a spectacle of rum's range — and like them it was a closely guarded house recipe before Beachbum Berry pieced it back together. A drink built to impress.
