Doc Ford’s to raffle home rum bar set for National Rum Day this Sunday
Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille is stocking the bar with an exclusive raffle in honor of National Rum Day, Sunday, Aug. 16. Customers who purchase the restaurant’s featured Doc’s Coco XO Mojito rum cocktail, created for the celebration, or a rum flight receive a raffle ticket to win a basket filled with a bottle of Mount Gay’s XO rum, a home bar cocktail smoker, four rocks glasses, a glass pitcher, muddling stick and infuser, all courtesy of Mount Gay Rum. The raffle is offered at Doc Ford’s locations in Sanibel, Fort Myers Beach and St. Petersburg.
“Mount Gay is partnering with us this year and has really stepped up to offer a complete home rum bar,” said Joe Harrity, a partner with HM Restaurant Group, which manages Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille. “Raffle prize winners will really appreciate the set-up. They can create their own smoked rums and flavor-infused rums right at home. The prize is quite the conversation starter.”
Founded on the premise of introducing customers to a variety of premium rums and rum-based cocktails – as its name implies – Doc Ford’s offers sippable aged rums from the Caribbean and South America. Rum flights include three shots.
Customers visiting the restaurants on National Rum Day receive a raffle ticket for each Doc’s Coco XO Mojito and rum flight they order. Winners for each location will be announced Monday, Aug. 17.
Doc Ford’s is located on Fisherman’s Wharf on Fort Myers Beach, and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
