Cocktail Specials: The Wonders of Jamaica
Nothing symbolises our passion for travel more than our El Explorador cocktail specials menus. As our very own ‘travel magazine’, we bring you a selection of cocktails inspired by the flavours of a new destination with every issue.
So, where’s our latest stop? For the third edition of El Explorador, we’ve taken a trip to the land of tropical sunshine, vibrant music, people and culture, and world-famous rum. We are bringing you the wonders of Jamaica; expertly crafted cocktails created with two of the finest quality rums to come from the small but mighty Caribbean Island.
Appleton Estate
Jamaica’s incredibly fertile terrain lends itself to the intense flavour of its rum as it’s the perfect environment to grow sugarcane, the key ingredient in rum making. Spanning 11,000 acres in the Nassau terroir, Appleton Estate have been growing and harvesting their own sugarcane for over 400 years and producing their own rum since 1749.
The lab at the Appleton Estate Distillery was modernised in the 1980s thanks to trailblazer Joy Spence, the world’s first Female Master Blender. Combining her knowledge or chemistry and love for Appleton rum, she was instrumental in creating the iconic rum produced from the Distillery today. Learn more about their rum production here.

Wray & Nephew
Charles James Wray began producing rum in 1825 eventually bringing in his nephew to take over the company in 1860 and coining the name to this now world-famous white rum. These family values strengthened when the two featured distilleries joined forces to become one in 1916. It is this rich history that means whenever you order Appleton Estate or Wray & Nephew, you know you are drinking quality.
Remaining bold and authentic – the black, green, and gold heritage has remained undiluted. All profits made from every bottle sold around the world is returned to the Jamaican business unit, as the famous rums are still made exclusively on the island.
