NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Captain Morgan is officially launching Captain's Cocktails, a brand-new line of ready-to-serve cocktails that come in three bold twists on classic flavors: Tropical Punch, Mai Tai and Long Island Iced Tea.

No prep, cleanup or flashy mixology skills required – just pour over ice and enjoy.

Captain Morgan will debut the Captain's Cocktails at LA's favorite cinematic outdoor screening series, Cinespia on Saturday, Aug. 21 at the iconic Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Attendees will have the first opportunity to sample the new flavors as the perfect addition to a double feature but don't worry - you can find these cocktails on shelves nationally, wherever you buy Captain Morgan.

"Captain Morgan has always been about bringing friends together to help create new memories, whether it's a happy hour or enjoying time at home," said Sam Salameh, Vice President, Captain Morgan. "Captain's Cocktails are meant to match the moments that are synonymous with the season – offering all the flavor and all the fun without any complications. The audacious reimagining of these classic cocktails with a unique Captain twist goes perfectly with our goal of being unapologetic in everything we do."

The Mai Tai, Tropical Punch and Long Island Iced Tea cocktails feature flavors that perfectly complement the summer vibe, and Captain's Cocktails perfectly bottle all those flavors using Captain Morgan rum as the decadent taste for enjoyment through any season. Captain Morgan Mai Tai transports you to the beach with flavors of juicy orange, lime, and a hint of pineapple. To take a quick (flavor) trip to the tropics, Captain Morgan Tropical Punch perfectly mixes the truly delectable tastes of juicy citrus and tropical fruit into a cocktail that could use an umbrella in the glass. Rounding out the tasty trio, Captain Morgan Long Island Iced Tea mixes rum, vodka, triple sec and other flavors made ready to sip for an express version of the classic cocktail. Captain Morgan has expertly mixed Captain's Cocktails so you don't have to – just sit back and enjoy with friends who are of legal drinking age.
