The story behind Guam Rum Cooler
Calamansi gives this Guam-inspired cooler a fragrant citrus snap that ordinary lemon cannot reproduce. Pineapple and soda stretch the rum into a refreshing drink for the warm, breezy end of the day.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
