Kasama • (adjective) being together adv. in company with, along with

I was thrilled when this brand reached out to me last year, Kasamarum is a 7 year blended rum from my home country, The Philippines. So naturally, when the distribution reached SC, I couldn’t wait to sample it (thanks to the kind folks at Kasama).

The rum itself is naturally sweet from sugar cane and figured it would be perfect in a spin on a Daiquiri that I’m calling “LAHAT KASAMA” which translates to “we’re all together” in Tagalog. This rendition is made with fresh calamansi juice which is near and dear to my heart (since I am Filipino and all). If you haven’t had calamansi, I describe it as a cross between a bitter orange, lemon and yuzu - its amazing in cocktail and wish it was more mainstream. Cheers y’all.
