Rum Cocktails for Autumn Weekends

Rum Cocktails for Autumn Weekends

 

When the weekend rolls around, sometimes you just want a drink that’s bold, warming, and a little adventurous. That’s where our Dark Rum and Spiced Rum come into their own.

A tale of two rums

At Wicstun Distillery, we produce both a Caribbean-inspired Dark Rum and a lively Spiced Rum. The Dark Rum is rich and smooth, perfect for classic serves. The Spiced Rum, on the other hand, is packed with warming spices that make it the life of the party. Both are crafted with care and bottled right here in Yorkshire — giving you a real taste of quality.

Why rum is perfect for autumn

There’s something about rum that feels just right for this time of year. Its depth and warmth make it ideal for cooler evenings, whether you’re by the fire at home or out with friends. And the best part? Rum is one of the most versatile spirits for cocktails.

Cocktail spotlight: Dark & Stormy

This is the ultimate autumn rum cocktail — spicy, zingy, and seriously satisfying.

🍹 Dark & Stormy with Wicstun Dark Rum

  • 50ml Wicstun Dark Rum

  • 100ml ginger beer

  • 10ml lime juice

  • Lime wedge to garnish

Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour over the rum, add the lime juice, and top with ginger beer. Stir gently and garnish with a wedge of lime. It’s bold, warming, and guaranteed to lift your weekend.

A little Wicstun pride

We love rum because it gives us the chance to experiment — to create something that feels both classic and exciting. By bringing Caribbean influence into Yorkshire craftsmanship, we think we’ve created rums that can stand proudly alongside the best.

So, next time you’re planning an autumn weekend gathering, make sure you’ve got a bottle of Wicstun Dark Rum or Spiced Rum at hand. Trust us, your cocktail game will thank you.
