Partner Post: Rethink your cocktails and experience the exceptional flavors of Don Q Rums.
With refreshing fizz, this cocktail is stirred with a ginger syrup and spiced rum. It’s perfectly simple and just what you need at the end of the week.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a long day week. My go-to remedy for such situations is usually a thirst-quenching adult beverage, such as the ginger rum fizz I’m sharing here. 
This cocktail recipe includes Don Q Oak Barrel Spiced Rum, homemade ginger syrup (which is my new favorite thing, btw), and seltzer water—it’s as simple as that. The smoky, woody notes of the rum complements the sweetness and subtle spice of the ginger syrup. Add some seltzer for a little sparkle and you’ve got yourself a party.
This new rum from Don Q is full of refreshing spice that we are mixing into lots of cocktails. See more recipes here.
