Thank you for the feature 👏🏻 as you know, This month marks the return of the OC Fair 🍬🎡 and what better movie to inspire this month’s cocktail than the “COUNTY FAIR” setting from the 1995 comedy drama film, “Babe”. Standing proud at the forefront, Papa’s Pilar blonde rum bursts of vanilla and lemongrass notes. Farm fresh flavors of peach, lemon and orange play nicely with the rum, like the farm animals from the movie. 🍑 🍋 And to round everything out, adds a little bbq dry rub seasoning and candied popcorn, 🍿 making this cocktail a winning combination of fair flavors, and a MUST TRY this month 🤌🏼
