Celebrate National Rum Day With These Black-Owned Libations - Page 6

August 16th is recognized as National Rum Day, and it is definitely time to celebrate a liquor that doesn’t really get much love. For the most part, we hear a lot about tequila, cognac, and White Claw a lot. However, a Rum & Coke will always be a classic to us. And while Bacardi will always be on standby, we wondered if there were any other selections out there to try. Look no further! We have gathered 8 brands that may be worth the tasting, and they’re all Black-owned! Check them out below!
