NYC Bars Perfect for Celebrating National Rum Month | Eater
"The party is at Kokomo, with DJs most of the weekend and not one but two happy hours (here called Koko Hour) midweek. You better book a reservation to ensure a seat at this often jam-packed dinner spot. The pan-Caribbean dining here comes with a touch of fusion that seems to draw on the global flavors along this stretch of the Williamsburg-Greenpoint border, in case you wondered how truffle or jackfruit pair with ackee. Lentil meatballs in coconut curry and pappardelle with island cream sauce keep the flavors global, just with a Caribbean spin. Fitting at a place that wants to party all the time, the signature BACARDĺ Ocho cocktail here is the Cardi All the Time: sweet orange vermouth and passion fruit liqueur blend with lemon juice for a tangy and sweet taste of tropical climes. If that’s not to your tastes, there’s also the Duckie Wine, which combines rum with hibiscus cordial, cinnamon, lemon juice, and egg white." - Brendan McGinley
