“We are excited about launching Candela as the first rum and a key part of the ecoSPIRITS USA launch portfolio. Mamajuana was not easily accessible outside of the Dominican Republic, but he was determined to change that. Meaning “on fire” in Spanish slang, Candela was created after co-founder Alejandro Russo had an epiphany while trying mamajuana at a swim-up bar in the Dominican Republic. Candela is distilled from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice, then aged in Bourbon casks elevating the finished product.Ĭandela is the finest blend of ultra-premium Dominican rum, natural spices and honey. Enjoyed as a shot, over ice or as part of a delicious cocktail, Candela Mamajuana boasts a smooth taste, rich rosewood and honey aromas and a long finish with warming spices. Named “the unofficial drink of the Dominican Republic” by Fodor’s Travel, the ultra-premium spiced rum is handcrafted in the Dominican Republic with all-natural ingredients sourced directly on the island. “The Moxy Hotel is steps away from the beach, we wanted our guests to enjoy a traditional Caribbean spirit that magnifies their tropical experience.”

The addition of Candela Mamajuana enhances our beverage program perfectly”, said The Moxy’s Director of Restaurants, Carlos Lopez. “We’re proud to provide our guests with exceptional services and amenities. The ecoSPIRITS circular distribution system, which includes the ecoTOTE format, reduces packaging waste by more than 90%, reduces transportation costs by as much as 50% and delivers an estimated 60-90% reduction in the carbon emissions associated with spirits packaging and distribution. I hope Candela inspires other brands to also join the ecoSPIRITS program and improve their sustainability.” “We’re directly making the world a better, cleaner place while our customers still get to enjoy the sweet, spice of life each sip of Candela offers. Partnering with ecoSPIRITS gives us the opportunity to not only reduce our carbon emissions with the ecoTOTE, but also to help the planet one bottle at a time,” said Co-Founder and CEO of Candela Mamajuana, Alejandro Russo. “I grew up believing that it’s important to leave the house better than how you found it.

The Moxy Miami South Beach Hotel, a staple resort located only steps from the beach, is the first venue partner for an ecoSPIRITS rum in the United States. The Dominican ultra-premium spiced rum Candela Mamajuana is spearheading the ecoSPIRITS launch in the United States as the first rum Brand Partner, now available at the Moxy Miami South Beach.
