There's no better place to sip rum in the continental US than in Florida, which is why we love a good rum festival at this time of the year. Delight in mojitos, daiquiries and more at The Coconut Grove Rum Festival, taking place on January 20th at Regatta Grove. Sample over 100 different rum blends, enjoy mixology competitions and soak it all up with rum-inspired and infused bites. As the day goes on, feel yourself swaying a bit stronger thanks to a build-up of fermented and distilled sugarcane juice and infectious rhythms from the reggae band.
The event is free (in which case, the rum is not), however you could opt for a rum experience pass which is a better deal. $90 gets you six cocktails and a rum banana bread banafoe by Sunny Side Up.
