95 points, Chairman’s Trophy in Daiquiri

“This Rum works brilliantly in the classic Daiquiri as it possesses the weight and depth to shine in the drink while seamlessly marrying the semi-tart lime notes. Perfect balance and complexity are found in the Banks 5 Daiquiri.”-Paul Pacult, UBC Chairman

92 points, Chairman’s Trophy in Mai Tai

“A classic Mai Tai is always welcomed but it demands a Rum with substance. If the Rum is timid the supporting cast takes over the balance is gone. The Banks 5 offers weigh, depth, and complexity to spare creating a Mai Tai worthy of your best Tiki glass.”-Paul Pacult, UBC Chairman

2 oz. Light Rum
.75 oz. Simple Syrup
1 oz. Club Soda
.75 oz. Lime Juice
8 Mint Leaves (plus 1 mint sprig for garnish)

Add the simple syrup and mint leaves to a mixing glass and muddle. Add everything else, then shake and fine-strain into a chilled Collins glass filled with ice. Top with 1 oz. club soda and garnish with the mint sprig.
