M.S. Rau is hosting a special event called "Rum & Rarities: A Cocktail Journey" that will showcase locally made beverages while exploring the history of rum. Scheduled for Wednesday from 2 to 5 p.m. at their location on 622 Royal St., the event aims to highlight the significance of sugar-based rum and its impact on global trade, American innovation, and the vibrant culture of the Roaring Twenties.

Guests will be treated to a unique experience divided into three historical themes, each featuring a cocktail crafted from Wildcat Brothers Rum. This distillery, based in Lafayette, produces small-batch rum using locally sourced sugar.

The event is free to attend, but registration is required. For more information and to sign up, visit Eventbrite.
