Flor de Caña-Sip Into Spring With the Premium Rum and Cocktail Recipes

Flor de Caña is a 5th generation family-owned, award-winning, premium Nicaraguan rum. We want to put it on our readers' radar as everyone gets into the swing of warmer weather. The rum is born and distilled at the base of the San Cristobal volcano which is Latin America's most active volcano. The highly fertile and mineral rich soil helps create a rich molasses that allows Flor de Caña to craft an ultra-smooth, balanced rum ideal for sipping or mixing in cocktails.
