National Rum Day

Today is National Rum Day!

Rum, the mysterious spirit hailing from the Caribbean has a day of its own: today, August 16th.  Why National Rum Day and why August you may ask? Some say the timing coincides with the end of the sugar cane harvest on the islands.

Celebrating National Rum Day doesn't necessarily have to be done with with a mojito or a Captain Morgan, JAVA & Co. offers dark Jamaican rum infused coffee syrups and dark rum infused artisan caramels - to satisfy your decadent, sweet tooth cravings...

Who knew celebrating National Rum Day could be so good, so tame and so delicious!
