This Independence Day is poised to be different than usual but you can still make sparks fly with refreshing summer sips. Lucien bartender and Don Papa Rum Brand Ambassador Peter Ruppert, has crafted three cocktails perfect for sipping while soaking up the sun.

The Apple Pina, Macaroni Feather, and French Revolution all highlight fresh flavors including pineapple, apple, apricot, and basil — the perfect complement to Don Papa’s signature sweet style.

Don Papa Rum is available for delivery via Drizly, Caskers, Warehouse Wines, and other local retailers.

APPLE PINA

2 oz Don Papa Rum

1 oz apple cider

1/2 oz pineapple juice

1/2 oz lime

MACARONI FEATHER

1 1/2 oz Don Papa Rum

3/4 oz apricot nectar

1/2 oz lemon juice

This is another fruit bomb but is intended to be layered. The rum, apricot, and lemon should all be mixed first. The caracao should be poured on the bottom, then add ice, then add rum mixture, then dress with cherry Heering. Red white and blue!

FRENCH REVOLUTION

1 oz Don Papa Rum

1 oz cognac

3 dashes walnut bitters
