Copalli Rum is a sustainable rum in the heart of the Belizean Rainforest. Built in 2017 and surrounded by 22,000 acres of rainforest conservancy, the farm is the first certified-organic farm in Belize. Copalli’s core founding principles was to make great tasting rum with all-natural ingredients, while honoring the land and the community.

• The distillery is designed to be zero impact. The stills are powered by sustainable, regenerative biomass and the process supports full-circle conversion of waste from production into agricultural inputs. Rainforest water is captured in holding tanks for blending. There is no toxic waste run-off, typical to other rum distilling practices.

• We grow our organic non-GMO, heirloom sugar cane on-site at Copal Tree Farms and oversee the production of the rum from start to finish.

• As the largest employer in Southern Belize, Copalli is proud to give back by supporting local community activities and providing educational grants.

Topic: All Hands on Deck - Why Tiki Must Get Green

Looking back through history, the rise of Tiki lined up perfectly with the rise of plastic and the cheapening of global commodities. If you're curious how far the movement has come since then, look no further than the glass in front of you today -- the quintessential Tiki drink is adorned with tropical flowers, relies on globally sourced products, and comes with a hefty dose of plastic knick-knacks. It's what we love about it, but also what has consistently made it one of the worst offenders in how cocktail culture contributes to Climate Change. This is the critical decade to fight this fight and the world needs Tiki on board. Can we redesign Tiki to "be better" and "get greener", while still keeping its essence?

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.
