The vibrant Cuban venue becomes even more decorated during the winter with pineapple string lights and palm trees that honor its tropical theme. Special drinks include the rum mule and seasonal rum shots, including the Caribbean Mama Juana and an eggless version of the traditional Puerto Rican drink coquito. Heaters, lanterns, and blankets warm the rooftop as do the three BACARDÍ cocktails: pineapple tamarind hot cider, coconut rum hot chocolate, and mulled wine.

This kitschy tiki bar is one of 10 locations throughout the country that is hosting a seasonal pop-up developed by latitude 29 owner Jeff “Beachbum” Berry of New Orleans. While the bar is still developing the holiday and winter drink menus, it carries an assortment of fun rum-based drinks year-round.

Celebrity chef José Andrés’s innovative cocktail bar features the rom cremat, a warm Spanish drink that translates to “burnt rum.” Caribbean aged rum, coffee, sugar, lemon, and orange peels are mixed in a clay pot that’s torched. A large gold wreath and ornaments make for a merry décor.  

A popular salsa spot, Cuba Libre is festive year-round with its brightly colored decorations. The rum bar is known for its variations of mojitos and caipirinhas made with BACARDÍ, but the Latin restaurant turns up the heat during the winter season with a seasonal coquito rum cocktail. The drink’s ingredients include spiced rum, rum cream, coconut cream, and nutmeg.

Guests looking to host private parties at the hip Logan Circle hotel can expect customized cocktail menus with options like BACARDÍ buttered rum and hot toddies. Party planners can choose simple or extravagant decorations, DJ and other entertainment, and a photo booth.

Lights, trees, and other convivial décor will enliven the Fish Market starting the weekend after Thanksgiving. Guests can toast the season with the restaurant’s seasonal drinks, including an eggnog made with BACARDÍ Gold rum and a hot buttered rum made with BACARDÍ Gold and Superior rums.

The house-made concoction, Sex with Jay, features rum, vodka, pineapple juice, and grenadine. Drink up while listening to the live house band Wednesday through Saturday.

The Afro-Caribbean restaurant celebrates rum cocktails every day with drinks like the rum Manhattan and the Coki Beach, with BACARDÍ 8, toasted coconut syrup, and allspice rum.

Colossal nutcrackers stand guard in front of Old Ebbitt Grill during the holidays while inside wreaths, lights, and bows liven up the historic bar and restaurant. Guests will find similar décor at sister venues the Hamilton and Clyde’s of Gallery Place. Old Ebbitt Grill and Clyde’s will feature the same seasonal cocktail: a pomegranate-ginger mojito, with rum, pomegranate juice, ginger beer, mint, and lime.
