Few things are better on a summer evening that settling down with a tasty scoop of refreshing sorbet — except perhaps settling down with a delicious cocktail. Now, you can do both at once with a new sorbet featuring Bacardí rum. The brand is working with boozy ice cream parlor Tipsy Scoop to create an Ocho Guava Daiquiri flavor that will be available throughout August, in celebration of Rum Month.

“Creating the Bacardí Reserva Ocho Guava Daiquiri Sorbet has been a fun opportunity to blend our love for spirits-infused ice cream with the rich flavors of Bacardí Reserva Ocho,” said Melissa Tavss, Founder & CEO of Tipsy Scoop. “When our Test Kitchen received Bacardí Reserva Ocho to try, we were instantly inspired by its smooth taste and the deep, layered notes of dried fruits, spices, and oaky vanilla. We knew we had to create a flavor that highlights these exceptional qualities, and we’re thrilled for everyone to experience this delightful treat and celebrate Rum Month with us.”

Frozen cocktails are an art form unto themselves, requiring a different balance of sweet and other flavors than chilled drinks due to their temperature. The idea of the new sorbet was to combine the deeper and more complex flavors of an aged rum with the tropical sweetness of guava fruit.

The limited edition sorbet will be available from Tipsy Scoop locations and can be purchased online as well.

“We are incredibly excited to partner with Tipsy Scoop to bring this unique flavor to life,” said Lisa Pfenning, VP Bacardí North America. “By incorporating our most beloved aged rum expression, Bacardí Reserva Ocho, into a classic daiquiri cocktail recipe with a burst of guava flavor, we add the perfect summer twist and celebrate Rum Month in a delightful and innovative way. This collaboration not only showcases the versatility and rich heritage of Bacardí Reserva Ocho but also allows us to engage with our consumers in a fun and refreshing manner.”

Winter is a surprisingly good time for cocktails, and not just because of the many gatherings we have this time of year. Yes, there's an abundance of citrus, but there are other ingredients too that can properly winterize your favorite cocktail recipes.

While we love a great hot cocktail, there are other ways to melt the snow with a soothing beverage.

If you're a sports fan, you're probably well aware of the "Big Game" taking place in New Orleans on February 9. If you're traveling to the "Big Easy" for the game, regardless of who you're rooting for (or if your team was eliminated long ago), you'll probably venture to Bourbon Street for some drinks, revelry, and general good vibes. But some wish the street was named for a different form of alcohol.
Rum Street

Captain Morgan is the Official Spiced Rum Sponsor of the NFL for the fourth year. Unsurprisingly, this brand would rather football fans congregate on a street named for the sugarcane-based spirit. But since no such street exists in New Orleans, the folks at Captain Morgan are celebrating the Big Game by renaming the street "Rum Street."

While most people love warm, cozy drinks for the cold winter period, there are some who love to embrace the chilly weather. I have an ice cream-loving friend who insists that the dead of winter is the best time to enjoy a scoop, as it doesn't melt so fast and you can really savor the flavors. If you're on team winter ice cream, then you'll love this fun and unusual recipe for a boozy ice cream float, the perfect way to indulge in sweet, creamy, chilly flavors at this time of year.

The recipe is from Mexican restaurant Barito Tacos & Cocktails in Port Jefferson, New York and makes use of Mexican Coke (famously beloved above US Coke for its use of real sugar instead of corn syrup for sweetening) and well as vanilla ice cream and the delightfully quirky boozy cherry on top, Chica~Chida, a peanut butter agave spirit.
