RUMBULLION COCKTAIL CLASS WITH TONGA TIM: SEA OF RUM

Tonga Tim Harnett returns with his much demanded RUMBULLION cocktail class, Sea of Rum.

Tiki does not exist without rum. Period. The classic cocktail favorites of gin, whiskey and brandy took a back seat to rum during prohibition. This open the gates for rumrunners and of course, tiki culture. It has a blendable flexibility unlike any other spirit.

As much as we each hold special places in our hearts for certain tiki drinks, how often do we think about rum's influence on them? Certainly the other elements of the cocktails shape their flavor. But the rums in each are also carefully selected, if not moreso.

In this very special edition of Rumbullion, we will take a deeper dive into the sea of rums. We'll take a much closer look at styles and points of origin, and also taste examples of these in a carefully-curated flight. These include the countries in the Caribbean epicenter, plus examples from Central and South America.

Three cocktails will also be served that demonstrate how the rum impacts the flavor. What you'll find for certain is that rum can be a vast creative palette for mixing, and also a spirit for sipping straight.

Join Tonga Tim to engage in some serious rumbullion. Our friends with Heidelberg Distributing will be with us to look at very special rums from their amazing array of craft spirits.

Each attendee will enjoy 3 special cocktails + a rum flight. In person and online attendees will also receive the recipes to make in your home bar.
