Agricole Rum is made by distilling sugar cane juice. It has an edgier/raw taste when compared to most rums made from molasses. Agricole rum, in the right cocktail, is sublime! Our Beet Down offers up a nice bright beet taste with the raw edge from the agricole rum that compliments the sweet and tart notes from the beet. We developed this cocktail for the June/July 2015 issue of the Alcoholmanac. If a margarita is more your thing, then check out our 3:15 Beet Down.
