National Rum Day

1098

Vodka, tequila, and gin, move aside — it’s rum’s time to shine. Whether you prefer white, gold, dark, or a blend of each, rum cocktails not only give serious island vibes, they are also a incredibly satisfying. Maybe your vice is a classic mojito, or perhaps you’d rather sip on a decedent goji berry rum cocktail. Either way, there is a rum drink for everyone in the OC to enjoy on National Rum Day, August 16th.

Bobby Navarro from 100eats.com has compiled a list of the best spots in OC to celebrate National Rum Day. Check out his detailed list here!
