Kopparberg has launched a new spiced cherry rum, and now things are finally looking up for the summer of 2020. The drink infuses a deep, spiced rum with cherry flavors that are bold and bright, and it costs $24.77 (£20) for a 70cl bottle. It's perfectly accompanied by some cola and a lime wedge, and it comes in at 37.5% ABV. Plus, it's vegan, so it's a treat that everyone can enjoy this summer. The perfect ratio for mixing your own is 50ml of Kopparberg Cherry Spiced Rum in a tall glass over ice, with a cola mixer of your choice, and a lime wedge to garnish. <img class="wp-image-12600581" src="https://img.vt.co/2020/06/ddfa5e3a-screen-shot-2020-06-19-at-11.50.37.png" alt="Spiced cherry rum." width="578" height="680" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Kopparberg]] There's also a premixed version available if you're looking to enjoy the tipple on-the-go. The drinks take inspiration from "the animals that come alive at night in the dark Swedish forests surrounding the town of Kopparberg", and it's the first time that the Swedish brand has tried its hand at creating rum. You can purchase 250ml cans in packs of four for $7.43 (£6). The brand's decision to move into the world of rum reflects the recent popularity of rum-based cocktails like the Mojito. The spiced cherry rum has been described as being perfect for "warm summer evenings" when the "energy and music builds", and it sounds exactly like what most of us need for a perfect socially distanced gathering this summer. <img class="wp-image-12600580 " src="https://img.vt.co/2020/06/90a33f32-screen-shot-2020-06-19-at-11.49.46.png" alt="Spiced cherry rum.
