Daufuskie Island, the southernmost inhabited barrier island of South Carolina, is home to a closely-guarded secret: the unique recipe for Daufuskie Island Rum.
This special drink’s nine-ingredient combination is known only to owner Anthony Chase, who has been dubbed a “rum genius.”
All of the distillery’s spirits are 100% American-made and even the oak barrels used for aging are from South Carolina. Get the recipe for a mojito on the Daufuskie Island Distillery Facebook page to celebrate National Mojito Day, as well as World Rum Day and Vodka Day throughout the year.
