A Bajan (Barbados) rum classic where dark aged rum and spiced falernum combine like 'corn and oil' — two things that don't mix but create something essential. Low-proof, deeply aromatic, and richly spiced with a lime-bright edge.

Corn and Oil

Cocktails with heat from chili, ginger, horseradish, or hot sauce. Spicy drinks deliver a kick that wakes up the palate.

Spicy

Cocktails evoking the tropics through pineapple, coconut, passion fruit, mango, or guava. Often rum-based and associated with beach, tiki, and vacation styles.

Tropical

Cocktails with a dense, syrupy, or full-bodied texture, often from sugar, amaro, or aged spirits. Rich drinks feel weighty on the palate.

Rich

Cocktails built on baking spices like cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, allspice, cardamom, or star anise. Warm-spiced drinks feel cozy and often appear around the holidays.
