The Aruba Ariba
This festive rum celebrates the island’s happy island vibes, friendly people and laidback living. Inspired by the original 1963 recipe of the Aruba Ariba cocktail we’ve infused Caribbean rum with banana, sweet orange and a touch of sun toasted coconut flakes, It’s the perfect rum as a base for the famous Aruba Ariba cocktail or to enjoy neat.
The history of the Aruba Ariba
In 1959, a time before the big tourism boom, Aruba opened the first luxurious hotel; Aruba Caribbean hotel later known as the Hilton Aruba. This is where Juan “Jocky” Tromp, who was 24 at the time, participated in and won the first cocktail competition on the island. During the competition (1st of July 1963) he presented the Aruba Ariba cocktail, a variation on the rum punch, made with rum, vodka, banana liquor, fruitpunch and kukuï liqueur. This eventually turned into the classic Aruba Ariba cocktail served all over the island today.
A rum that celebrates the national cocktail; the Aruba Ariba
“ Growing up on the Island of Aruba and working in some of the best bars and restaurants made me feel passionate and patriotic about the Aruba Ariba Cocktail.
A cocktail that withstood the test of time for over 60 years. It’s why we’ve re-created this cocktail in a rum based spirit that captures Aruba’s happy island spirit & laidback lifestyle.”
– Ruben Maduro (Founder)
