Tanduay Rum Spring Cocktails

Though no strangers to frigid, icy winters, New Englanders had more to contend with than usual this season: polar vortexes dropping the temperature to record lows and storms like Hercules and Pax cloaking the Northeast in a limitless blanket of white.  Finally, with the onset of longer and warmer days, it’s time to trade snow boots for sandals and focus on the sun-filled weekends ahead. With mitt-free hands, grab a cocktail (or two) made with Tanduay Asian Rum and welcome the nearly forgotten season that is Spring.

Hailing from the Philippines, Tanduay Asian Rum is a premium spirit masterfully blended by Maestros who have been perfecting their craft since 1854. Its silky smooth finish makes it an ideal base for Spring sippers. The Tanduay Spring Fling and Tanduay Star of Asia are two cocktails you’ll be returning to over and over again this season.
