Death to Sour Mix's 'Rum is the New Black' drink recipe is inspired by popular TV series Orange is the New Black. The cocktail is made using a blend of Phraya [premium gold rum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kraken-rum-1) and Thai syrup along with dashes of Xocaltl Mole and Taza Chocolate bitters.

This rich and refreshing cocktail is garnished with a slice of grapfruit skin that adds to its tangy taste. Mixology fans will love this quick and easy drink recipe that takes its name from a [Netflix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/framework-laptop-12)-streamed series that has become a cult classic.

This Death to Sour Mix cocktail is also infused with palm sugar and fresh lemongrass ingredients. It tastes best when chilled and served with plenty of ice.
