It’s Halloween season, so of course our Happy Hour recipe is going to be a dark cocktail that you can make for your friends at your next bash. This time, we are sharing a recipe in which we used Ron Botran Reserva Blanca, which is an aged white rum, mixed with fresh blackberries, mint and cranberry juice.

We loved this cocktail, it is surprisingly refreshing. But be careful, you can hardly taste the rum… but it’s in there!
