Mission
Khakis Down is the rum that reminds us to slow down and have some fun. On the beach, in the mountains, at the lake or the back porch – any occasion is a perfect fit.
With fusion of dark spices, great-tasting Khakis Down encourages us to let our hair down and enjoy the moment.
Khakis Down, Glasses Up!
A little bit about us…
Think Rum is a drink only consumed in a sandy destination? Think again.

Once upon a time, four friends gathered in the mountains of North Carolina for a weekend away from the grind of everyday life. That Saturday night, “dark and stormies” were the drink of choice.

The friends laughed until they cried, and one member of the group even lost his khakis to some sweet dance moves during the wee hours of the morning.

The events of that weekend are the inspiration behind Khakis Down®, a Rum that insists you to unwind and just have fun – enjoy life’s adventurous, funny and sometimes legendary moments with friends.

Life's too short to worry about the past and think of the future.. enjoy the now..

Turkey Brine: (for a whole fresh bird) From our medical fan ‘Dr. Shep’
2 cups Khakis Down rum, 2 cups kosher salt, 0.5 cup orange blossom honey, 2 oranges thinly sliced, 2 Tablespoons peppercorns. Ice.
Dissolve salt and honey in Khakis Down over low heat, add oranges and peppercorns, steep for 20 minutes then remove from heat. Add ice to cool and increase volume enough to cover bird completely in a brining bag or large zip top bag. Squeeze air out of bag before sealing. Keep brining turkey in refrigerator or cooler for up to 2 days. Rinse turkey under cold water before preparing to roast or fry. Discard brine and fruit.
Recipe can be halved for smaller bird or breast.
