Ready jet-set go! Here’s a reminder that Koko Kanu’s “Frequent Flyers Cocktail Club” will finish on July 31st! That means you have only until Monday to visit some of London’s best bars to drink your way around the world with globally inspired Koko Kanu cocktails and to be in with a chance of winning prizes worthy of a jet-setter, including beautifully crafted luggage accessories, cocktail experiences and more. Did I mention complimentary drinks? Yes, there will also be complimentary drinks. So change your weekend plans and join Koko Kanu on this very special journey.
Russell Burgess, Koko Kanu’s Rum Ambassador, said: “This summer we are taking guests back to an era of rustic elegance and lustful adventure with Koko Kanu’s cocktail journey. At each bar, we’ll be unveiling new coconut-twists on classic cocktails, that will transport guests to sunnier climes”
Here’s a quick reminder of what’s happening and how it works:
Inspired by 1950’s Jamaica, Koko Kanu, the UK’s leading premium coconut flavoured white rum, is inviting Londoners and travel enthusiasts alike on a journey to six bar destinations throughout the month of July.
Show off your past holiday snaps at one of the bars to unlock a ticket to the “Frequent Flyers Cocktail Club” and redeem 2 complimentary drinks, including a Koko Kanu rum-based bespoke cocktail and the signature Koko Kolada and Koko Daiquiri. You will also be given a map to hunt down the other five bars and cocktails on a rum-soaked weekend adventure.
Visitors can collect stamps in their Koko Kanu passport at each stop, receiving a free drink on their 3rd stamp, and those who complete the trail will be in with a chance of winning prizes (see above). To enter, travellers must post a picture of their completed passport on their social media channels, using #addsomeadventure and tagging @KokoKanu_UK.
The bars taking part are Shanghai’s speakeasy Opium bar in Chinatown, the intimate lounge bar Trailer Happiness in Notting Hill, Mexico’s Baja California inspired El Camion, the Holy Grail of every rum-drinker Rum Kitchen (choose from Carnaby Street, Notting Hill or Brixton), light and airy Clerkenwell favourite Bourne & Hollingsworth and Camden’s own slice of colourful Latin American bar culture Made in Brasil. Each bar’s mixology team has created a bespoke Koko Kanu cocktail for you to enjoy.
