Topic: Rones de Guatemala | History, Traditions & Sustainability
Guest: Alexandra Alfaro – Marketing Manager
What You’ll Learn:
Guatemalan lands have characteristics that make them unique, such as vertisol soil, which is only found in 2% of the earth’s surface.
The productive area of the Protected Denomination of Origin of Rum of Guatemala is located on the South Coast of Guatemala, in the departments of Retalhuleu and Suchitepéquez, within the heart of the sugarcane-sugar zone.
The Rum of Guatemala is produced only using “virgin sugar cane honey” as raw material. Living up to its name, this syrup-like liquid is delicious, sweet and has a pleasant flavor.
Virgin sugar cane honey is the product of pressing ripe cane. The juice obtained from the milling is heated, clarified and filtered to eliminate the solid cane remains that may have remained in suspension. Finally, the clean juice is subjected to evaporation to remove excess water and center the sugars.
Only 3% of the world’s rums are made with pure sugar cane juice.
During the livestream Alexandra will teach us about Rones de Guatemala.

Topic: Transparency in Alcohol Labeling
Channel: Tiki by the Sea
Host: Peter Nevenglosky – Co-Founder Tiki by the Sea
Guest Speaker: Speaker: Bailey Pryor, Founder & CEO, The Real McCoy Rum
Bartender: Nathan Hazard, National Brand Ambassador, The Real McCoy Rum
What You’ll Learn: Since the 1970’s all prepared foods in America are required to list both Ingredients and Serving Facts on their packaging in order to provide transparency to consumers. Why does this not exist with alcohol? Especially when we consider the negative effect of not disclosing allergens, use of animal products and dozens of added chemicals and sweeteners to consumers who need to know this information in order to maintain their health. This seminar explores the need for full disclosure to consumers, and premiers the first alcohol product in history to voluntarily list both Ingredients and Serving Facts on its bottle labels – The Real McCoy Limited Edition 50% ABV.
