Duppy Share Rum teams up with Ainsley Harriott for Pairing is Sharing campaign

Ahead of a ‘Summer of Rum’ Duppy Share, the premium rum brand has paired up with one of the UK’s favourite TV chefs, Ainsley Harriott, to create a series of authentic food recipes paired with Duppy Share cocktails – all inspired by the flavours of the Caribbean.

As part of the Pairing is Sharing campaign launched by Duppy Share Rum, Harriott has created a range of inspired Caribbean recipes that pair perfectly with Duppy Share Rum cocktails and can be recreated at home to share with friends and family.

“Caribbean food always brings you sunshine on a plate and a gorgeous rum cocktail brings you sunshine in a glass – that’s why I’m so delighted to team up with my friends at Duppy Share to help create the fantastic Pairing Is Sharing experience,” Harriott said.

“Both rum and Caribbean food are more popular than ever right now and I’m loving the opportunity to work with the Duppy Share team to bring plenty of sunshine, flavour and smiles to the table.”

Sly Augustin, owner of world-famous Portobello Road rum bar Trailer Happiness, has developed three Duppy Share cocktails that match perfectly with Harriott’s dishes.

Harriott’s bespoke recipes paired with Augustin’s Cocktails:

Starter: Jerk King Prawns with Duppy Aged Rum, Crispy Plantain and Avocado paired with Duppy Blitz

Main Course: Coconut & Duppy Spiced Rum Chicken Skewers with Pineapple Slaw and Coriander Roti paired with The Duppy Colada

Dessert: Ainsley’s Tropical Tiramisu with Duppy XO, Sweet Mango and Creamy Mascarpone paired with The Duppy Old Fashioned

Jack Orr-Ewing, chief executive of Duppy Share Rum, said: “I’m delighted to partner with Ainsley for this campaign. Having grown up watching him on television, it was clear that his personality and values were the perfect match for Duppy Share. Ainsley has always made food accessible, delicious and fun, just like our rums. Since meeting with Ainsley and his team, it’s clear that his passion for bringing Caribbean food to a British audience matches our mission to share the Spirit of the Caribbean through every drop of rum we sell.”

Duppy Share Rum is distributed in the UK by Proof Drinks. The range includes Duppy Share Aged, Spiced, White, XO and Pink Ting-A-Ling Ready to Drink cans.
