Don Papa Rum and Run Rabbit Run Team up for a Virtual Bar Experience

With most bars and restaurants still unable to operate and people still advised to stay home if they are able, drink enthusiasts have turned online to satiate their drinking needs. Booze and cocktail delivery services have kept the thirsty citizens of Manila stocked on libations and e-numan has become the online stand-in for group hangouts.

Don Papa Rum teamed up with Run Rabbit Run for a virtual bar session that highlighted their Cocktails To Go collaboration. Cocktails To Go is an online cocktail delivery service that provides bartenders with a platform to stay on top of their game while supporting the call for bar regulars to stay home and enjoy their favorite Don Papa Rum cocktails.

The Zoom session was hosted by Bleeding Heart Rum Co.’s Program Development Manager Aaron Goodall, with signature drinks crafted by Run Rabbit Run head bartender Enzo Luna, and bartender Christina Soudji.

According to Enzo, they were quite fortunate to already be exploring and developing the logistics behind Cocktails To Go before the pandemic hit, allowing them to be ahead of the curve in providing a solution for rum enthusiasts to enjoy their cocktails during the quarantine. “This ECQ has also been an opportunity for us to hone our craft and share our knowledge with fellow bartenders,” Christina added.

The Virtual Bar Session featured three Don Papa Rum cocktails concocted by the Run Rabbit Run bartenders and was not just a tutorial on how to make the featured cocktails. The guests were also able to get a taste of these cocktail creations thanks to Run Rabbit Run’s Cocktails To Go service, with the ingredients and materials for each drink hand-delivered to their homes. Guests also got tips and tricks from the Run Rabbit Run bartenders about customizing their cocktails with everyday ingredients that can be found in one’s home.

Banana Rum Daiquiri

A light, classic cocktail that features a perfect balance of rum, sugar, and lime with a touch of banana liqueur for an enticing, tropical touch.

Masskarra Old Fashioned

A local take on the classic bar favorite Old Fashioned, this blend features the locally spiced tasting profile of Don Papa Masskarra with a touch of aromatic bitters. The cocktail is peppered with subtle citrus notes, hints of honey, and siling labuyo that adds a kick of spice and heat to the drink.

Don Chocoroni

This is a localized take of the Kingston Negroni made even better with Don Papa Rum. The cocktail is infused with cacao husk to give this special negroni a rich balance of vanilla, chocolate, and tart.

You can have your very own virtual bar and cocktail experience with your Don Papa Rum favorites through Run Rabbit Run’s Cocktails To Go, available through their website.

A Rabbit in Sugarlandia box set goes for Php 1,800.00 and includes three 200 ml bottles of Don Papa cocktails, garnishes, and the RRR care package. If you have a favorite of the three, you can also order them in 500 ml (serves 5) and their new 250 ml (serves 3) bottle options. Pre-order from Saturday to Thursday midnight and get your orders on Friday. They offer free delivery in Metro Manila.

There’s still a long way before we can go back to our regular nights out in our favorite bars, but that does not mean we can’t enjoy the connection and conversations with our friends online with our favorite cocktails in hand.
