Rum-Flavored Aperitivos

Kinnie Rumba Builds on Bittersweet Aperitivo with Rum Flavorings

Kinnie Rumba is a ready-to-drink alcoholic aperitivo infused with natural spiced rum flavorings, combining the spirit of the Mediterranean with the heart of the Caribbean. On its own, Kinnie is known for its orange and herbal flavor, and bitterness, and Kinnie Rumba expands the Aperitivo range with the warmth and qualities uniquely associated with rum.

“Kinnie has long been known to be an extremely versatile mixer, widely used in cocktails and aperitivos by consumers and bartenders alike. With the Kinnie Aperitivo range we are reimagining the classic Kinnie flavor with an original twist on popular drinks and cocktails,” said Susan Weenink Camilleri, Head of Sales & Marketing.

This aperitivo is said to be best enjoyed with ice and a wedge of lime.
