A Toast to the Summer Olympics with Cruzan Rum
05 Aug 2016 by Simon Mayorga in Cuisine, General, Home, Products, Spirits, Sports
Athletes from around the world are on their way to Rio for the big games and across the U.S people are already planning watch parties for the opening ceremony, their favorite sports, and more. A perfect drink for any Olympics related fiesta is the Cruzan Blue Latitude, a combination of Cruzan Aged Light Rum, blue curacao, fresh orange juice and lemon-lime soda, reminiscent of the Brazilian flag in a cocktail glass.
Here are a few thought starters on hosting the perfect watch party too:
A Signature Cocktail: Every host needs an easy, festive drink like the Blue Latitude
Decorations: Hang up a few flags to create an international feel or decorate with symbolic theme colors – blue, yellow, black, green and red
Snacks: Assign each attendee a country and have them bring a snack or dish representative of that country’s cuisine
