This post is intended for those 21+ years of age. Please enjoy responsibly. Cherry Mojito.
We’re celebrating today. It’s not any particular milestone or event we just felt like celebrating. Happy Monday. Happy End of Summer. Happy almost Labor Day. Happy Un-Birthday. Happy Happy Happy. Do you have that song in your head now. It’s kind of addictive. Know what other song is addictive? Kenny Chesney’s new one “American Kids”.
That my friends might be my new favorite KC song. It’s snappy, and sassy. Kind of like me. Yes, since I’ve been developing recipes for Kenny Chesney’s Rum Company – Blue Chair Bay Rum, over the past few months we’ve developed this friendship (even if it’s only in my head but whatever just roll with it).
If you haven’t heard of this rocking rum, I’ll give you a little info. Blue Chair Bay is available in four flavors: White, Coconut, Coconut Spiced and Banana. The coconut is robust yet easy with a just-cracked-open-coconut character (all natural) and an incredibly smooth mouth-feel. The Coconut Spiced Rum is the new way to spice, where cinnamon, nutmeg and clove meet beach-aged rum and natural coconut for a whole new way to experience the islands.
The banana rum tastes like they took your Grandmother’s prize banana pudding and infused it into the highest quality rum. It’s kinda amazing.
I think this little end of summer stunner would be the perfect sipper for your Labor Day Festivities (or just because). Want more rum-tastic options? Try a GUMBY SLUMBER or the always popular FROZEN BANANA DAIQUIRI. You pick.
Blue Chair Bay Rum is available just about everywhere and starts at $18.99 for a 750ml bottle and $28.99 for 1.75L bottles. To find out where you can purchase Blue Chair Bay rum, download the Blue Chair Bay Rum locator app from the App Store or Google Play.
Be sure to connect with BlueChair Bay Rum on Facebook and Twitter! You can also find more great cocktail recipes at BlueChairBayRum.com.
Remember Blue Chair Bay invites you to enjoy its rums and the islands responsibly.
