August is Rum Month, and there's no better way to celebrate than by diving into the world of Club Kokomo Spirits, where the sun never sets and each sip transports you straight to the tropics. Founded by Mike Love, co-founder of the Beach Boys, this San Diego-based distillery brings a touch of island magic to every bottle, blending passion, tradition, and top-tier craftsmanship.

Club Kokomo Spirits offers a line of premium, artisan-crafted rums and gin-based ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails that are nothing short of exceptional. Produced by the award-winning subsidiary Seven Caves, these spirits are crafted with high-quality ingredients, including natural sugars and flavors, and are free of additives—ensuring a pure, unforgettable drinking experience.

At the heart of Club Kokomo's offerings is the Tahitian Vanilla Rum, an exotic tribute to the white sand beaches of the Caribbean. This rum is a symphony of sweet floral aromas and delicate spice, achieved using fragrant, ripe, whole Tahitian vanilla beans. The result is a well-balanced rum with a velvety smooth finish that lingers on the palate, making each sip a journey to paradise. We tried it and wow, this is honestly a fantastic drink for the summer and beyond!

For those looking to enjoy a cocktail that captures the essence of the tropics, the Kokomojito is a must-try. This twist on the classic mojito exceeds expectations with its crisp, fresh flavor profile. Infused with lemongrass, real lime juice, and natural mint, this cocktail is lightly carbonated and sweetened with all-natural cane sugar and agave. With a 10% ABV, it offers a true cocktail experience without the artificial flavors. It's the perfect drink to give you that first-date courage or simply to savor on a warm summer evening.

Mystique, a gold medal award-winning cocktail, is a tropical explosion in a can. This handcrafted blend of guava, lychee, and lemon juice, combined with jasmine tea-infused rum, creates a flavor profile that sings like a siren. The 10% ABV, all-natural flavors, and light carbonation provide a cocktail experience that is refreshing and won't leave you feeling bloated. Mystique is a mystery no longer—it's pure tropical bliss.

If you're a fan of gin, the Excitation cocktail is bound to become your new favorite. This take on the classic Saturn cocktail delights with crisp notes of black cherry, citrus, and passionfruit, all perfectly balanced with artisan-crafted gin. Like the other offerings, Excitation features 10% ABV, real juice, and all-natural flavors, with just the right amount of carbonation to keep things light and refreshing.

For those seeking something a bit more adventurous, Afternoon Delight offers a unique twist on the classic mule cocktail, spiced up with a rum kick. The blend of citrus, maple, ginger, and allspice creates a drink that can be enjoyed year-round, with the added bonus of being able to heat it up like a hot toddy during cooler months. With 10% ABV, this cocktail packs a punch and is sure to become a favorite for those who appreciate bold, complex flavors.

Club Kokomo Spirits has truly mastered the art of capturing the spirit of the tropics in every sip. Whether you're lounging on a beach or simply dreaming of one, these rums and RTD cocktails offer an escape from the ordinary, transporting you to a world where the sun is always shining and the drinks are always flowing. As we celebrate Rum Month this August, there's no better time to indulge in the premium offerings of Club Kokomo Spirits. Cheers to island vibes and unforgettable flavors!
