The iconic Original Spiced Rum is perfectly mixable and
straight-up sippable, delivering a perfect blend of Caribbean rum, real Madagascar vanilla, natural flavors and spice,
with notes of cinnamon, clove, dried fruit, caramelized sugar, and
honey that taste great in any cocktail with our original spice.
With Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum, you don't have to be an
expert behind the bar, because creating a delicious, spiced-up
cocktail is easier than ever. To prove it, Captain Morgan Original
Spiced Rum has teamed up with Comedian, Actor and Host, Tone Bell
and Influencer, Host, Author, Drew
Afualo for its Battle of the Badtenders, a contest
that turns "badtenders" – ordinary folks with zero background in
mixology – into bartenders capable of making delicious classic
crowd pleasing cocktails, from tropical Piña Coladas and minty
mojitos to the timeless cola with Captain Morgan Original Spiced
Rum. The possibilities are endless and sure to be delicious, no
mixology lessons needed.
"This is an exciting new chapter for Captain Morgan. With a
fresh new look that highlights our elevated liquid, we are staying
true to our roots and spicing it up," says
Anne Nosko, Vice President, Captain
Morgan. "We're dialing up our trademark taste with even more
delicious ingredients for our loyal fans and new consumers to enjoy
endless cocktail possibilities."
We all have friends who are clueless behind the bar. The
question is, are they willing to put their skills to the test?
