Dark Matter Spiced Rum provides the perfect selection of cocktails to accompany the new Star Wars film
The force is strong with a new range of cocktails designed to celebrate this week’s release of, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Dark Matter Spiced Rum, from Scotland’s first and only rum distillery, teamed up with the best mixologists this side of the Mos Eisley Cantinato to create the perfect interstellar cocktails – with not a drop of blue milk in sight.
Andy Stewart, head bartender at Aberdeen’s subterranean speakeasy The Tippling House, brings us Obi-Rum – an elegant blend of spicy Dark Matter and subtle, fragrant aromas. Wookie Fuzzball is the chocolatey brainchild of Kieran Stephens of Rothes’ The Station Hotel, while Georgi Radev, cocktail Jedi at Mayfair celebrity haunt Mahiki, has created two unique concoctions – Kessel Rum and Dark Vader. Infused with the bar’s signature Tiki flavours, they’ll tempt even the purest of heart to turn to the dark side.
