Lemon Hart Rum

Our rums proudly represent over two hundred years of rumcraft and knowledge. Aficionados take heart! Hart’s passion.

Our legacy began even before 1804, with Lehman (“Lemon”) Hart’s appointment as official rum purveyor to the Royal Navy. For more than 200 years, we’ve been masterfully crafting and blending the most complex, magnificent, single-source rums. Still hailing from the Demerara region of Guyana, Lemon Hart & Sons rums will forever honour Mr.

93 points. One word: “Exceptional.” 🔥

Blackpool Spiced Rum brings together exotic dried fruit, island spice, warm vanilla, toffee, cocoa and a lingering touch of Bourbon oak.

Bold enough to stand on its own. Complex enough to keep you coming back for another sip.

This one goes full tropical. 🦍🌴 Planet of the Apes from Ma Hu, featuring Lemon Hart 151.

“Planet of the Apes 🦍🍌

An unusual Tiki cocktail from Jeff “Beachbum” Berry Beachbum Berry Remixed and one of the few recipes that doesn’t rely on syrup.

The banana is front and center from the very first sip, tasting natural rather than overly sweet. Juicy pineapple and orange provide freshness and flow, while Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Black provides a bold backbone with its unmistakable funky Jamaican esters.

On the finish, Lemon Hart 151 steps in with its dry Demerara character and a pleasant warming kick. That is exactly what keeps the drink surprisingly dry and well balanced despite the banana liqueur.

For me, this recipe works exceptionally well. It proves that a Tiki cocktail doesn’t necessarily need syrup when liqueur, fresh fruit juices, and flavorful rums provide all the balance.

Recipe

15 ml fresh lime juice
30 ml orange juice
30 ml pineapple juice
22.5 ml Tempus Fugit Spirits Crème de Banane
30 ml Edward Hamilton Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Black
15 ml Lemon Hart Rum Lemon Hart Demerara 151

Shake vigorously with crushed ice, dirty dump into a glass, and top with more crushed ice.

Garnish: Banana slice, cocktail cherry, and fresh mint.”

Don’t panic, an authentic ration of Lemon Hart & Son rum would never actually freeze. And yes, this legendary rum provider was the inaugural appointment to the British Royal Navy from the Admiralty in the 1790’s. So it’s really no surprise that this historic Guyana-distilled, Demerara-style overproof rum was specified in Donn the Beachcomber and Trader Vic’s cocktail recipes dating back to the mid 20th century. But that’s another legend, for another time.

Right now, I want to share a delicious blended cocktail, using fresh (or frozen) mango puree, coconut, lime juice, plus (feature this) Lemon Hart & Son 151 Overproof Rum by floating it on top. Yes, the proof is high; it’s supposed to be. And despite the high proof, I encourage you to taste this rum neat. The deep complexities of the Demerara sugar intertwined with their select barrel aging, delivers a ridiculously enjoyable flavor bomb. Or should I say cannon fire, to tip the hat to the original consumers?

Cheers to absent friends and those at sea!

BLUE SUEDE SHOES 💙👞 is Gustavo Fonseca Olivares’ riff on Justin Wojslaw’s Cherry Blossom. It’s blue, it’s cool, and oh so smooth.

1 oz Coco López
3/4 oz lime juice
1 oz pineapple juice
1/2 oz Liber & Co. Cinnamon Syrup
1/2 oz Giffard Curaçao Bleu
3/4 oz Smith & Cross
1/2 oz El Dorado 15 Year
1/4 oz Lemon Hart & Son 151

Flash blend with 1 1/2 cups of pellet ice and open pour into a brandy snifter. Garnish with a large bouquet of mint, dried pineapple ring, cinnamon stick, Luxardo cherry, and freshly grated cinnamon.

The name of Justin’s Cherry Blossom cocktail was inspired by a pair of blue colored high heel shoes called The Cherry Blossom by fashion brand Lucky Lou Shoes. I couldn’t help but keep the shoe theme going. Like the original cocktail, Blue Suede Shoes is meant to be a blue drink that doesn’t taste like a blue drink.
