Popular rum brand Captain Morgan has launched a new line of ready-to-serve cocktails in three classic flavours: Tropical Punch, Mai Tai and Long Island Iced Tea.  Captain Morgan Mai Tai features orange, lime, and a hint of pineapple. Tropical Punch perfectly mixes citrus and tropical fruit into a cocktail. Meanwhile, Long Island Iced Tea combines rum, vodka and triple sec, among other flavours. "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, VP of Captain Morgan. "Captain's Cocktails are meant to match the moments that are synonymous with the season – offering all the flavour 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 new Captain's Cocktails will be available nationally in the US and Canada from August. Mai Tai and Tropical Punch are available in 1.75mL bottles with an ABV of 13%; Long Island Iced Tea is available in 1.75mL with an ABV of 17%. All three cocktails have a suggested retail price of $19.99.
