To celebrate Black history, Ian Burrell, the Global Rum Ambassador and Co-Founder of Equiano Rum is partnering with four Black bartenders. The initiative is to showcase
Tom Bullock’s “The Ideal Bartender” book, Olaudah Equiano’s autobiography, and cocktails using Equiano Rum. The bartenders were invited to attend a virtual masterclass with Burell to learn about the spirit, how to use it, and why it’s unique.
Equiano then challenged each bartender to select a recipe from “The Ideal Bartender,” pick an inspirational figure in black history and create an Equiano version of their Tom Bullock cocktail, telling the story of why they picked that person. The cocktail needed to be mindful of Equiano and its tasting notes, the significance of Tom Bullock, as well as the inspirational figure they’re spotlighting.
