To celebrate accordingly, we wanted to find the best ways to enjoy this beloved tropical spirit. Lucky for us, TPR clients in the Dominican Republic and Bermuda know more than a little bit about rum. So, we’ve looked to them for the best recipes and insights... ## Barceló Bavaro Beach Resort Barcelo Bavaro's Strawberry Rum Rum Located in Punta Cana, DR, the all-inclusive resort complex is set on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, creating the perfect backdrop for sipping the county’s native drink. Guests staying in club premium suites at [**Barceló Bavaro Beach Resort**](http://www.barcelo.com/BarceloHotels/en_US/hotels/dominican-republic/punta-cana-beach-bavaro/hotel-barcelo-bavaro-beach/general-description.aspx) even receive a complementary bottle of Barceló Rum as an in-room amenity upon arrival. The resort complex also boasts a dedicated cigar and rum lounge, where guests can find signature rum cocktails, including: **Barcelo Bavaró’s Apple Cinnamon Twist** White Rum Brugal titanium 1oz ½ Apple liquor 1 oz 1 slice of green apple Cinnamon Tonic Ice **Barceló Bavaro’s Strawberry Rum Rum** White Rum Brugal Titanium 1oz ½ Strawberry liquor 1 oz Peppermint Tonic Strawberry slices ## Bermuda Bermuda's signature cocktail, the Dark 'n Stormy. It’s no secret that [**Bermuda**](http://www.gotobermuda.com/) and rum go hand in hand. It all started in 1806 when James Gosling, the son of a wine and spirits merchant in England, was forced to port in St. Georges, Bermuda after three months of rough sailing. He was heading for America on a ship loaded with £10,000 worth of spirits, but decided to settle in Bermuda. He opened up shop and began bringing family members (and more spirits) over from England. Today, [**Gosling’s Black Seal Rum**](http://www.goslingsrum.com/our-products/black-seal-rum/) is an essential ingredient in many signature cocktails and food dishes. In fact, two of Bermuda’s national drinks are rum based, including: **Gosling’s Dark ‘N Stormy****®** 1.5 oz Gosling’s Black Seal Rum Gosling’s Stormy Ginger Beer **Bermuda Rum Swizzle** 4 oz Gosling’s Black Seal Rum 4 oz Gosling’s Gold Rum 5 oz Pineapple Juice 5 oz Orange Juice ¾ oz Grenadine or 2 oz Bermuda Falernum 6 Dashes of Angostura Bitters Of course, Caribbean settlers were already familiar with rum. Some of the first settlers in the region enjoyed the medicinal and recreation aspects of the libation. Due to its tendency to provoke “rumbustious” behavior, they began calling the drink rumbullion – later shortened to rum. So Happy Rum Month! Get out there and celebrate responsibly…. not rumbustiously. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [!['Treat Yo Self' this Halloween with Zombie Apocalypse Training, Ghost Hunts & More](https://www.turnerpr.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/TheStanley-36751_432x200-2-1.jpg) ](https://www.turnerpr.com/spin-kitchen/treat-yo-self-halloween-zombie-apocalypse-training-ghost-hunts) #### ['Treat Yo Self' this Halloween with Zombie Apocalypse Training, Ghost Hunts & More](https://www.turnerpr.com/spin-kitchen/treat-yo-self-halloween-zombie-apocalypse-training-ghost-hunts) [Ashley Cox](https://www.turnerpr.com/spin-kitchen/author/ashley-cox) : August 20, 2015 Considering nearly 70 percent of Americans celebrate Halloween each year, fall is the perfect time to discover some of America’s spookiest spots.
