Presented by Ian Burrell

Explore Jamaica’s profound impact on the world of Tiki cocktails: from the island’s bold, flavorful rums to its cultural influence on exotic mixology. Discover how Jamaican rum became a cornerstone of Tiki classics such as the Mai Tai and Planters Punch, thanks to its rich pot-still character and deep, funky flavors. Delve into the history of Jamaican distilleries, the role of rum-running during Prohibition, and the Caribbean inspirations behind Don the Beachcomber’s and Trader Vic’s creations.
