Spirit Spotlight: Riverbank Spiced Rum

Spirit Spotlight: Riverbank Spiced Rum

Spiced rum has a pretty fun history—infusing fresh rums with herbs and spices was intended not just to add to the flavor, but also to help add a little something special and make it taste better. Rum infusions have been happening for centuries, but it wasn’t until just a few decades ago that it became a popular concept.

Wisconsinites love our spiced rum, so when we were determining which spirits to add to the Schierl Brothers Northern Oasis Spirits lineup, we absolutely needed something to spice things up! 

Riverbank Spiced Rum held up in front of palm trees.

That’s why you’ll find Riverbank Spiced Rum in our family of spirits. It goes without saying— spices just make things taste better! Infused with 10 natural spices, you’ll love the flavors of allspice, cinnamon, and vanilla in every sip.

Riverbank Spiced Rum is a great addition to classic rum cocktails like rum and Coke or rum punch. It’s sweet enough to inspire great cocktails, but not so sweet you can’t pick out the complex mixture of spices—and that makes it great, even by itself on the rocks. Want to try out one of our favorite Riverbank recipes? Pick one (or more!) from our list and get to mixing and sipping today.

Let’s not forget the fun traditions of rum—from imagining island vibes or channeling your inner pirate to embracing a Jimmy Buffet beach lifestyle. Those mainstays of rum culture are what prompted us to reimagine what the ideal rum-drinking scene looks like, taking it from Jamaican beaches to the beloved Wisconsin waterways. We moved from the sea to the freshwater riverbanks and sandbars of the Midwest. And we made the flavor our own to better serve Wisconsinites looking to cool off in the summer sun, or just grab something rich and refreshing after a long day.

There’s no doubt rum adds the spirit of fun to your beverages and encourages you to lay back and relax with good company. So grab a bottle of Riverbank before your next outdoorsy adventure and share a pour with your friends.
