Cocktail Courier, Shaker & Spoon, and Chairman's Reserve Original Rum have teamed up with Tales of the Cocktail Foundation to spotlight award-winning spirits, renowned bars, and celebrated bartenders recognized by Tales Spirited Awards. Kate Gerwin’s (2023 Best U.S. Bar Team — Happy Accidents) Wake me up before you GO GO isn’t just any ol’ iced coffee. For starters, there’s Chairman's Reserve Aged Rum buzzing throughout, which sets a superior summer scene as it catches a wave of rich coconut syrup. After that? The signature quenching quinine kick of tonic water acts as the cool-off and changes the character of the cocktail completely for the brighter.
Chairman’s Reserve was first blended in 1999 as a special project to create a fine quality rum that can represent the iconic style of St. Lucian rum. Chairman’s Reserve starts with selected aged rums of both Coffey column stills and copper pot stills, married together after maturation, and then re-entered into oak for blending and final finishing. The end result has become the flagship St. Lucian rum known for its harmonious well-rounded finesse and style with tremendous character for cocktails and sipping experiences.
