On Sunday, October 15th, prepare for a showdown of epic proportions as South Africa’s Springboks take on France’s Les Bleus. We’re not just talking rugby here; we’re talking fierce competition, roaring fans, and a cocktail that’ll make your taste buds do the Haka. Say hello to the “Bleu Skies Ahead” cocktail, starring our mischievously delicious South African rum Innocent Spirits Cold Brew Coffee Rum.
Ingredients:
- 45ml Innocent Spirits Cold Brew Coffee Rum
- 15ml Cointreau (French orange liqueur, because why not?)

Instructions:
- Grab your cocktail shaker and throw in a handful of ice cubes.
- Pour in the Innocent Spirits Cold Brew Coffee Rum, followed by the Cointreau, Crème de Cassis, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Now, let’s shake it like you’re celebrating a last-minute try. Shake until you’re thinking, “Is this too much shaking?” It’s not.
- Strain that delightful concoction into a chilled martini or coupe glass because we’re fancy.
- Top it off with a lemon twist or a thin strip of orange zest because presentation is key, darling.
