RUM AND RUMMER WE GET A LOCAL BAR’S TAKE ON THE CLASSIC PIÑA COLADA, IDEAL FOR SQUEEZING OUT THE LAST FEW DROPS OF SUMMER WITH...
IN CASE YOU haven’t heard, rum is having a bit of a moment. While nothing is about to topple gin from the most coveted spot on the backbar, rum is very much gaining momentum on the bar and spirits scene, with interesting small-batch creations growing in number and making the variety more intriguing. Specialising in this tropical spirit is Fidel Rum Bar in Bath – a cosy little hangout hidden down a skinny street off Upper Borough Walls. The backbar here showcases an extensive collection of rums, which the staff are super-knowledgeable about and mix into some top-notch cocktails – like this classic Piña Colada. “Don Q Gold is the original rum used to create the Piña Colada, so we’ve stuck to tradition and carried on using the original whilst giving it a little Fidel twist with Aluna Coconut Rum,” says manager Ricky Simms. “Aluna is a Bath company and the rum is infused with coconut water and contains less sugar than Malibu or Koko Kanu.” Piña Colada 30ml Don Q Gold 25ml Aluna Coconut Rum 50ml fresh pineapple juice 5ml lime juice 15ml sugar syrup 25ml coconut cream pineapple wedge, to garnish pineapple leaf, to garnish cherry, to garnish ice Add the rums, pineapple juice, lime juice, sugar syrup and coconut cream to a shaker. Shake the ingredients together for 10-15 seconds, then pour into a hurricane glass with ice. Garnish with a pineapple leaf, pineapple wedge and cherry on the top. facebook.com/fidelbath
