RUM

This Halloween be sure to pick your poison wisely. Beware of the seasonal spooky punch that usually has you waking up feeling ghostly and say hello to Don Papa Rum 10 Year Old, the rum that will give you the liquid courage to overcome any spine-chilling Halloween madness.

Known for its rich, sweet style, and fruity notes, this rum pairs perfectly with the best that fall has to offer. If you’re working on any Halloween coverage or cocktail round-ups, I’d love for you to consider including Don Papa 10 and the below cocktails created by NYC mixologist Ben Rojo from the Black Emperor! I’ve included more info and recipes below.
