MOKO Rum Old Fashioned Trilogy:

8, 15 & 20 Year Old Expressions

 

Step into a sun-soaked Caribbean sunset with the MOKO Rum Old Fashioned Trilogy: three handcrafted cocktails that journey through 8, 15 and 20 years of patient rum maturation. Each expression brings its own story—vibrant fruit and playful spice in the 8-year-old, warm vanilla and caramel in the 15-year-old, and deep, resinous oak and dried fruit in the 20-year-old—served in a signature glass that mirrors its character. Whether you crave the light, the lush, or the luxe, this trilogy transforms the classic Old Fashioned into an unforgettable exploration of age, flavor and craftsmanship

Extra Variation Tips

  • Experiment with other bitters: orange, Peychaud’s, or chocolate bitters each add their own dimension.
  • Infuse your sugar syrup with cinnamon, vanilla, or clove for an autumnal twist.
  • Always use one large ice cube to enjoy your cocktail longer without quick dilution.
  • Serve in crystal-clear tumblers to showcase the amber hues and the ice swirl.
