𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗺𝘆 𝗗𝗼𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗿 🍓

As the days heat up, it’s easy to reach for the summer coolers we love so much. There’s nothing better than a crisp cold glass of homemade lemonade on one of those sunn afternoons but why not change that up with a little bit of influence from a favourite little sweet treat.

• Mount Gay Black Barrel Rum
• Shortbread
• Jammy Dodger Lemonade

Making the most of those dark sugary biscuity notes we love in Mount Gay Black Barrel, this refreshingly sharp and oh-so-smashable highball can quench any amount of thirst, no matter how hot it gets. Rich but crushable, what a way to start this Spring!

Spring has sprung and with that brings glorious sunshine. Might as well fast forward to the heady summer days complete with tropical rum drinks straight from an all-inclusive bar.

• Mount Gay Silver Rum
• Guava
• Clear Coconut Cream
• Lime Sherbet
• Tropical Pearls

Fun and fruity, it’s all the joy of a Piña Colada without all the heaviness. And you know what means? It’s even easier to order another. Don’t worry, it’s basically the summer...

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

Earlier this month, we were beyond excited to host a special event as part of International Women’s Day and the launch of @heard.involved.present, a group created for individuals to feel Heard, Involved & Present in the hospitality industry.

During the day we hosted a panel discussion and open forum, allowing members of the Cardiff hospitality community and beyond to ask and listen to a group of industry leaders, giving a little insight into what we can do to grow our space and what issues are still there to be fixed.

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to @griffithsdrinks, @the_champagne_of_queers & @gogginsontherocks for coming down to Cardiff to add your voice to the conversation. Your experiences not only as members of the hospitality community but also from other communities across the UK really let us grow this conversation into something greater!

A massive thank you must go to the one and only @carysnorthmore. The energy you put in to this project helped make it all possible. Thank you for hosting, for holding the room, for giving this your all and simply for being you 🫶

Later in the evening we created a menu, collaborating with other women in Cardiff hospitality as a showcase of the amazing people this city has to offer. Thank you for being a part of the day, it really capped off something special.

Here’s to continuing to support, uplift and champion each other 💜
