COMPÈRE LAPIN SETS SAIL ON A SUMMER RUM CRUISE

This June, Compère Lapin invites guests to embark on a spirited journey through the Caribbean with its Summer Rum Cruise, a five-week exploration of island flavors featuring Chairman’s Reserve Rum. The tropical voyage sets sail with a nod to St. Lucia, the home island of Chef Nina Compton, and continues with a new island destination each week.

This immersive rum experience is curated by Lead Bartender Toray Henry with Cassie Rolland, Compère Lapin’s Assistant General Manager and resident rum enthusiast, who brings her deep knowledge and passion for Caribbean spirits to each tasting and cocktail pairing.

Each “Cruise Stop” will showcase:

• Rum Flight ($35 - $45) featuring three (3) 1-ounce pours from that week’s featured island
• Signature Island-inspired Cocktail ($16 - $17), handcrafted to capture the essence of the region

The journey begins the first week of June and will spotlight a new Caribbean island each week, offering five unique experiences throughout the month.

Additional islands showcased will include Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Barbados, and French Territories (Martinique & Haiti). The Summer Rum Cruise will be available from Tuesday, June 3 - Friday, July 4, 2025. Compère Lapin is located in The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery at 535 Tchoupitoulas Street, New Orleans, LA 70130.
