Ciara Mixes Up Daiquiris With A Fresh Twist For National Daiquiri Day

Ciara just proved that sometimes the simplest things can be the mightiest. Partnering with 10 To One Rum and Jules FROM Create & Cultivate to celebrate the national day, she has the evidence. A video from the event shows Ciara conversing with guests, mixing drinks, and giving some rum lore, stating that the spirit often gets little respect.

The video begins with Ciara launching a rant about the ongoing trend of putting tequila or rum in espresso martinis: “Bump. Bump. Bump. That’s a daiquiri,” she exclaimed. She was not for these overcomplicated concoctions when there were classics just waiting to shine; “It’s delicate, it’s delicious, and it’s only three ingredients.” And there she was right: rum, lime, and sugar. But then she went ahead and dispelled the myth that rum is either too sweet or too one-note.

One special memory: She connected with a lady from the Bahamas, shouting, half-jokingly, “Bahama mama! That’s a freaking delight,” the vibe is there! Then the audience is drawn in as she claims that she found 10 To One Rum and that she realized rum need not be the syrupy, overly sweet spirit that, ironically, the majority is thinking it to be. “It can be this delicate, delicious spirit,” she says. “You just gotta get to know rum.”

The comment section is quite lively, too. One guy shouted, “CIARA THE REASON I STEP DANCE” as another one said, “This is a jazzy fizzle producshizzle.” Jules, her partner in crime, chimed in with, “Will make Daiquiris with you all anytime!!” Sure enough, it was fun.

Some are unconvinced. “Rum in the espresso martini is not a secret it’s way better,” one commenter said, sparking a little mini-debate in the replies. Meanwhile, another just embarked on a nostalgic detour: “Haha Bahama Mama What a throwback!!!” Idiomatic of how far Ciara’s mischievous energy goes.

The takeaway? That older generation thinking of rum, Ciara’s on a mission to shake: literally and figuratively. From her effortless charm to schooling modern-day enforcers of “well-made daiquiri” onto the versatility of the drink, she is converting one load of skeptics into believers at a time. Together with the promo code of CREATE10 for $10 off at tentoonerum.com, she is making sure everyone can be part of the party.
