Cocktails for You is inviting bars to join a global movement tohelp reduce food waste by creating, serving and championing zero waste cocktails, an initiative led by Flor de Caña, a Carbon Neutral and Fair Trade certified rum.

The family-owned rum company is teaming up with bars and restaurants around the world on a Zero Waste campaign that will take place during the month of July for USA, Canada, Mexico and Europe, and during the month of August for Latin America and the Asia Pacific region. The campaign will showcase participating venues and promote them to customers keen to tackle food waste, one delicious sustainable cocktail at a time.

In addition to benefiting from the promotional activities around the Zero Waste Month campaign, participating venues will also have exclusive access to a Sustainability 101 training session from the expert team at Food Made Good, designed specifically for mixologists and bar staff. Flor de Caña brand ambassadors, who’ll also receive the bespoke training, will be on hand to support the bars as they create and promote their Zero Waste cocktails.

To take part in this free-of-charge sustainability program, bars must create a sustainable cocktail made with Flor de Cañarum, ingredients that would otherwise be wasted and create nowaste in the process, then submit the recipe, a photo, volume of food rescued per serving and full details to Flor de Caña.
