Villainous Mixers: How to Pair Your Favourite Villains Rums
At Villains Rum of York, we love our spirits bold, intriguing, and just a little bit wicked. Whether you like your rum fiery, smoky, or sweet as sin, the right mixer can elevate your drink into something truly villainous. Here’s how we recommend serving our infamous collection — simple, delicious pairings with ingredients you probably already have at home (of course you will be judged for missing but we are all fiends here).
🔥 Guy Fawkes Chilli-Spiced Rum
Infused with heat and rebellion, this one’s got a cheeky little tickle, but wont blow anything up of course! We love it over ice with a fiery ginger beer for a bold, spicy drink that warms you to your villainous core. Prefer something simpler? Classic cola works too — just enough sweetness to balance the flame.
Try:
- 50ml Guy Fawkes Rum
- Top with ginger beer or cola
- Serve over ice, garnish with a lime wedge if you dare
🕵️♂️ Dick Turpin Smoky Dark Rum
Smooth and smoky, just like the highwayman himself. This one’s made for a twist on a classic Dark & Stormy. Ginger ale gives it the right sparkle, and a squeeze of fresh lime brings the whole drink alive. Uncomplicated, bold, and always on the run.
Try:
- 50ml Dick Turpin Rum
- 100ml ginger ale
- Squeeze of fresh lime
- Serve over ice, stir, and escape into the night
