Tips for Garnishes and Presentation

Edible Touch: Incorporate edible flowers, like pansies or violets, for a whimsical effect.
Herb Sprigs: Fresh mint or rosemary can add both visual appeal and an inviting aroma.
Rim the Glass: For added sweetness and texture, rim your glass with sugar or a combination of sugar and cinnamon, which enhances the festive feel.
Behind the Scenes: The Inspiration
The idea for the Blackberry & Blueberry Festive Fizz was inspired by the vibrant colors of the holiday season. The deep reds and greens evoke a sense of warmth and nostalgia during winter gatherings.
Choosing Rhino Rum Blackberry & Blueberry was essential, as the sweet and tart flavors of blackberry and blueberry remind us of holiday treats enjoyed with family. In fact, studies show that 68% of people associate the holiday season with fruits, and these berries are particularly popular during colder months. The balance of sweetness and the earthy notes from the rum create a comforting drink that reflects festive joy.
