Now that the excitement of the holidays is over, we’re all in need of something to make those cold, dark days of winter a little more enjoyable. Equiano Rum is a 100 percent natural rum with no added sugars, colorants, or spices. It’s also the world’s first African and Caribbean rum. A spiked hot chocolate made with this true rum is just the thing to brighten up a cold night.
The Equiano Holiday Gift Box will surely make a cold winter day warmer.
“As the world’s first African & Caribbean rum, the uniqueness in liquids from each location plays an important role in our blend,” say founders Aaisha Dadra and Amanda Kakembo. “In Equiano Original, the African component, from Mauritius, is tropically aged in ex-Cognac barrels which offers a natural sweetness to the blend. In Equiano Light, we’ve introduced fresh sugar cane juice rum from Africa which adds a grassiness to the blend. And Barbados produces some of the best rums in the world, so we feel honored that it’s a key component in both Equiano Original and Equiano Light.”
