The duo is kicking off a bold month-long break-up that swaps cola for a line-up of five refined 'Rebound Cocktails' designed to help Aussies discover a better match.
Launching on Tuesday 26 August the Cola Break Up will see cola dropped from the menu at Old Love's replaced with a rotating series of premium rum cocktails that showcase the versatility and complexity of Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva - one of the world's most awarded dark rums.
In place of rum & cola Old Love's will be introducing the Café Venezuela A rich and zesty take on an Espresso Martini inspired by a guarapo - a traditional Venezuelan drink made with coffee lime and papelón. Plus four additional 'rebound' rum cocktails will roll-out weekly throughout the month ranging from fresh takes on iconic serves to unexpected flavour flings.
Ensuring there's a little rum love for every taste and palate these include:
Una Noche (aka One Night): A rich and refreshing cola-esque highball that pairs the smooth flavours of Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva with cold brew and falernum - a spicy complex Caribbean syrup with tonka bean and vanilla plus a zesty lime finish.
Monte Exclusiva: A robust riff on a traditional Monte Carlo featuring the ever-aromatic D.O.M. Benedictine herbal liqueur Peychaud's bitters and orange oil for a boozy sip with old world charm.
Love Boat: A bright fruity modern take on a daiquiri that balances Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva's rich notes with fruity passionfruit lemongrass falernum and lime.
Jungle Fever: A seductively spicy spin on the classic Jungle Bird cocktail combining bittersweet Campari and Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva with Old Love's signature caramelised spiced pineapple lime and fiery pimento.
The Cola Break Up will run for one month exclusively at Old Love's - available only to those who know to ask for the secret menu. Sydneysiders are invited to leave their ex-mixer on read and discover their next rum match.
