Vote for your fav Doc Ford’s rum cocktail, enjoy 50% off during National Rum Day, Aug. 16
The summer of celebration continues at Doc Ford’s Bar & Grille as the beloved restaurant honors National Rum Day with 50% off a signature rum cocktail on Aug. 16. The drink of the day will be determined by a weeklong in-store and online poll featuring three of Doc Ford’s most popular rum cocktails. Blended to perfection and served ice-cold, each drink is perfect for summer.
The contenders are:
• Doc’s Rum Runner, a tasty concoction of whiskey barrel-aged Mount Gay Eclipse rum, blackberry and banana liqueurs mixed with tropical fruit juices, a splash of grenadine and finished with a dark rum floater.
• Toasted Coconut Colada, the ultimate piña colada perfected with Hard Truth toasted coconut rum and a toasted coconut rim.
• Sanibel Sunset, a beautiful blend of color and flavor, featuring spiced and Don Q coconut rums with orange and pineapple juices, a splash of amaretto and grenadine.
Polling begins Aug. 10 and continues through Aug. 15 via QR codes in-store and online with the winning drink offered at half price Aug. 16. at Doc Ford’s four locations.
“The contest is a fun way to recognize National Rum Day and our best rum drink according to our customers” said Joe Harrity, a partner with HM Restaurant Group, which owns and operates Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille and Dixie Fish Company. “It’s going to be an interesting vote. The rum runner, colada and sunset are our three top-selling rum cocktails.”
The restaurant will also share a video recipe of the winning drink on social media.
This summer, Doc Ford’s has offered gift card and mojito glass giveaways for National Mojito Day in July and celebrated its specialty dish with YETI cooler drawings for National Yucatan Shrimp Day in May.
