Emi Guerra: \u201cSaturday Aug. 15, we have our annual rum festival.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yep \u2014 it\u2019s National Rum Day.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a safe bet there\u2019s enough for everyone.<\/p>\n
Emi Guerra: \u201cThis festival has over 100 types of rum: rum bites, rum cocktails, the best tropical vibe you\u2019ll find in all of Fort Lauderdale.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is the right party, in the right place, at the right time.<\/p>\n
Emi Guerra: \u201cRum is the perfect cocktail in the summer, especially at The Wharf. So many amazing cocktails, so many themed bars coming just for this event.\u201d<\/p>\n
He\u2019s not kidding. Whatever you\u2019re looking for, they\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n
Emi Guerra: \u201cWe have a frozen bar, we have a tiki bar, we have a pirate bar, we\u2019re even shipping in a truckload of sand and making a beach bar.\u201d<\/p>\n
There\u2019ll be plenty of drinks on hand, featuring the guest of honor.<\/p>\n
Check out the bad boy they call, \u201cThe Wharf Lada.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emi Guerra: \u201cWe core out an entire pineapple and make the most delicious pi\u00f1a colada that goes inside the pineapple. It\u2019s a showstopper, it tastes delicious, it\u2019s natural, it\u2019s as healthy as it gets for a cocktail.\u201d<\/p>\n
There is one cocktail that bangs the drum for rum more than any other.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s food, drinks, music, there\u2019s even a place to light up.<\/p>\n
Emi Guerra: \u201cThis particular event we\u2019re having a pop-up cigar lounge.\u201d<\/p>\n
