KASAMA Rum founder Alexandra Dorda recommends drinking Kasama Rum on the rocks. But she also enjoys it on cocktails, keeping it as simple as possible.
“I’m a big fan of two-ingredient cocktails so my go-to is mixing Kasama with coconut water, pineapple juice, or lemonade. If I’m feeling fancy, I like to make a twist on a daiquiri where I substitute lime juice with calamansi juice,” Dorda revealed to Asian Journal.
Here are a couple of simple cocktail recipes, courtesy of Alexandra and Kasama Rum team. More recipes are available at www.kasamarum.com/pages/recipes.
