Sound Advice

“As the days and nights get a little chilly and the foliage changes, we thought it would be fun to combine some traditional Autumn flavors with some elements of traditional tiki cocktails. The combination of cinnamon and grapefruit is the base for tiki legend's Don the Beachcomber's "Mix No. 4." The recipe was a closely guarded secret for decades. Far North Spirits Ålander Spiced Rum is the perfect base for these both tropical and Fall flavors.”
