If you’ve ever seen a Captain Morgan commercial, you’re familiar with the brand’s signature slogan: “To Life, Love and Loot”. This winter, Captain Morgan’s plundering pirates are replacing the looting with an extra serving of love.
Captain Morgan Spiced Rum has teamed up with Top Chef judge and restaurateur Hugh Acheson to launch the Captain’s Table, a program to fight hunger and help the poor.
Acheson is inviting responsible drinkers aged 21 and older to share recipes and swap tips to serve at the Captain’s Table. Just for exchanging ideas about your favorite rum inventions, you can help support WhyHunger, a charity that supplies nutritious, affordable food to those who need it most.

To get the ball rolling, we’re going to share a Captain Morgan holiday cocktail recipe that is sure to be a big hit with your guest! This tart and festive drink is perfect for a holiday party, whether you’re exchanging gifts or ringing in the New Year. Are you ready to tumble?
