Celebrate National Cocktail Day with Bumbu Rum and BLK & Bold!

Mar 25, 2022

BLK & Bold Smoove Operator and Bumbu Rum Original in collaboration for National Cocktail Day

National Cocktail Day is here, and we're celebrating all things specialty by partnering with Bumbu Rum to sip on BOLD, refreshing craft cocktails. To kick this celebration off, we partnered with Whiskey & Rosemary, who created two craft cocktails that feature both Bumbu Rum and BLK & Bold products.

The first cocktail, After Dark, is a dark and stormy cocktail featuring Bumbu's original rum and BLK & Bold's Smoove Operator dark roast.

The second cocktail, Bloomy Day, combines Bumbu XO, Bumbu Créme, and BLK & Bold Chamomile loose leaf tea.

Prepare to make your cocktails

Make the Mushroom Rosemary syrup:

In a small pot, add 1 cup of water, 4 sprigs of Rosemary, 1 cup dried mushroom medley. Bring to a boil. Add 1 cup of brown sugar and stir until sugar has fully dissolved. Let steep for no less than 30 min. The longer you steep, the more flavor. Strain and pour into a mason jar with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Make the Turmeric Mint syrup:

In a small pot add ½ cup of water and 2 cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil, then turn off the burner. Add 1 cup of cane sugar and stir until sugar has fully dissolved. Whisk in ½ Tbsp of Turmeric powder. Add 4 sprigs of mint and let steep for no less than 20 min. The longer you steep, the more flavor. Strain and pour into a mason jar with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
