Alongside nights by the fire, thick coats and snuggling up under woolly blankets, one of our favourite things about Winter is having a warming drink in our hand. And whilst sometimes hot chocolate and herbal tea will suffice, there’s nothing like a dark spirit when you want to opt for something packing a little more punch.

Dark spirits can be intimidating, but there are plenty of delicious rum cocktails for those looking to dip their toe in the tipple. If this sounds like you, but you’re not quite sure where to start, Diplomático have announced a limited-edition cocktail kit to celebrate the launch of their newest spirit, the Exclusiva Exclusive.

Partnering with Australia’s first digital bar, Box Bar, rum-lovers (or experimenters) can make their own cocktails by following Diplomático’s how-to guide, along with a kit full of every mixer, garnish, and dark spirit knowledge one might need - delivered straight to your door, so there’s no need to move from the warmth of your own couch!

The limited-edition Reserva Exclusive Rum is more than your average dark horse, with a classic body of flavours (orange peel, toffee, and liquorice) along with the finest of finishing notes (hints of fudge), and is that perfect blend of sweet and classy, for mixing in with cocktails or just drinking straight.

If you’re still not convinced when it comes to your bartending skills, anyone who places an order via Box Bar and have the Exclusiva Exclusive delivered to their door, will be granted access to a rum masterclass hosted by Sai Hamsala, Diplomático Brand Ambassador, and James Harvey-Fiander, Chief Experience Officer at Box Bar. These hour-long sessions from trained mixologists will have you appreciating the flavour of this premium spirit (and your cocktail shaker) like never before. 

If you want to embrace the last few weeks of winter by getting your hands on one of these warming cocktail kits, the limited-edition Exclusiva Exclusive from Diplomático is available for purchase from August 1, ahead of the first consumer masterclass taking place on National Rum Day, August 16, 5pm. Without having to leave your living room, it’s as simple as heading to https://www.boxbar.com.au/exclusiva-exclusive/ to bring the bar to you…
