Ten To One Rum: Crafting Excellence and Tradition


When crafting a truly memorable cocktail, the quality of the ingredients is paramount. For the Firework Fizz, we’ve chosen Ten To One Dark Rum as the cornerstone of this patriotic drink. Ten To One is not just any rum; it’s a brand that stands out for its exceptional quality and rich flavor profile. Founded by Marc Farrell, a Trinidadian entrepreneur, Ten To One is a Black-owned brand that aims to redefine the rum experience by blending tradition with modernity.


Ten To One Dark Rum is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a spirit that boasts notes of baking spices, banana peel, and cedar. This complexity adds depth to the Firework Fizz, complementing the sweetness of the grenadine and the zesty brightness of lemon juice. By choosing Ten To One, you’re not only elevating your cocktail but also supporting a brand that champions diversity and innovation in the spirits industry.


The Firework Fizz: A Festive 4th of July Cocktail


The Firework Fizz is a cocktail that embodies the joy and celebration of Independence Day. With its stunning red, white, and blue layers, it’s not only a treat for the taste buds but also a feast for the eyes. The vibrant colors of this cocktail are achieved through a careful layering process, ensuring that each sip brings a delightful blend of flavors. The red layer, created with grenadine, adds a sweet and slightly tart base. The white layer, made with club soda, provides a refreshing and effervescent middle, while the blue layer, combining Ten To One Dark Rum and Blue Curacao, delivers a rich and complex finish.





What sets the Firework Fizz apart is its playful twist: a rim coated with blue pop rocks. This unique addition adds an extra layer of fun, as the pop rocks crackle and fizz with each sip, mimicking the fireworks bursting in the sky. It’s a cocktail that’s sure to be a hit at any 4th of July gathering, sparking conversations and delighting guests with its creative presentation and harmonious blend of flavors.
