CELEBRATE WORLD COCKTAIL DAY LIKE A YOUNG TRINI
Bartenders mix Ten To One Rum cocktails.
MONDAY 13 MAY 2024, PORT OF SPAIN – World Cocktail Day marks the day that the word ‘cocktail’ was first defined in print on May 13th 1806 – a recipe that forever changed the spirits world. More than two hundred years later, creativity abounds in the cocktail world. Palates and tastes have changed over time, and there are new recipes on offer from innovative brands such as Ten To One Rum.
Founded by Trinidadian Marc Farrell, Ten To One is a range of ultra-premium Caribbean rums designed to challenge expectations and change the way people taste, experience, and talk about rum. The brand creates pure, pan-Caribbean rum blends with no added sugar, colouring or flavouring, making it the perfect, premium choice for the base of your celebratory cocktail.
For Trinidadians interested in celebrating World Cocktail Day this week, Ten To One’s website has a collection of unique and fun cocktails – including the bespoke ‘Young Trini’. The Young Trini is Ten To One’s playful twist on the Old Cuban, a well-known classic New Yorker cocktail. This inspired cocktail can best be described as part mojito, part French 75, with a Champagne topper that adds a playful touch and makes this drink perfect for any form of celebration. You can find more cocktails at tentoonerum.com.
