Enjoy sipping on Takamaka Rum highballs this bank holiday weekend

London looks set to enjoy a mini heatwave this bank holiday, and what better way to soak up the sunshine than with a refreshing highball made with Takamaka Dark Spiced Rum?

A much-loved favourite from the Seychelles, Takamaka Dark Spiced Rum is crafted using pure island spring water and molasses sourced from across the Indian Ocean, capturing the spirit of the tropics in every sip.

Rich, smooth and full of flavour, this beautifully balanced rum blends different aged rums with natural notes of vanilla, papaya and warming spices.

Expect inviting aromas of baking spice and ripe tropical fruit, followed by flavours of creamy vanilla, caramel and juicy papaya, all rounded off with a gentle oaky warmth and a subtle peppery finish. Below are two highball recipes so you can enjoy sipping in the sunshine over the bank holiday weekend!
