With summer just around the corner, it’s almost prime time to lay by the pool with sunscreen in one hand and a cocktail in the other. Before you banish the rum to the back of your cupboard, Diplomático’s new cocktail recipes are perfect for having a rum in the sun.

Diplomático is a super premium Venezualan Rum, forged with a commitment to quality and putting passion and heart into making rums. This unwavering commitment extends to quality in all outputs, including its original rum-based recipes.

The newly revealed summery spin-off recipes debunk the idea that rum is just a winter spirit. If you’re a rum fan or simply testing the waters to see if it’s your flavour, consider these three cool cocktails: Diplo Spritz, Diplo Mai Tai and Mantuano Summer Punch.
