Captain Morgan has launched a new Muck Pit brew for customers to try
The iconic rum maker's "Muck Pit Brew," described as a "tropical beer-inspired drink with a gently fizzy twist, combines spiced rum, hops, and vibrant Caribbean vibes."
The flavours are inspired by hops, which are a common ingredient found in beer, and fermented fruits such as mango.
The booze contains 4% alcohol by volume (ABV) and is available in 440ml cans.
It's available to purchase online in packs of 12 for £30 and can also be found in select venues across the UK.
This article will be updated with further details as they become available.
Some punters have already got their hands on the drink and described it as "delicious".
Another customer said online: "I drank this at ParkLife festival and bought more for home - absolutely delicious and very different.
"It's a really interesting blend but definitely works - especially in warm weather."
Nin Taank, marketing manager at Captain Morgan, said: "We wanted to give people something different to drink when out with their friends.
"The drink draws inspiration from production methods steeped in tradition and perfectly blends these with current trends for tropical flavours to create a truly unique drink that not only draws from the past, but also looks to the future. "

It also sells a bottles of 0% rum for those looking for an alcohol free alternative.

'I live near Heaton Park and can't believe what some Oasis fans did to my flat'
Oasis's hotly-anticipated reunion tour has kicked off with a bang, with thousands of music lovers across the world overjoyed after brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher confirmed they'd put their feud behind them to embark on a globe-trotting string of gigs celebrating the band's Britpop legacy. The tour signals the band's first live appearance since they split back in 2009, and it began on July 4 2025 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. Oasis' much longed-for reunion - and the tour - was confirmed on August 27 2024, two days before the 30th anniversary of the band's influential and iconic debut album, Definitely Maybe. Formed in Manchester in 1991, the group's homecoming gigs at Heaton Park kicked off on Friday, July 11. They're playing five dates, with the final taking place on Sunday, July 20. However, while most people were enjoying the show respectfully, it seems some people weren't as respectful to the surrounding community as others. In a post on Reddit, one anonymous Heaton Park local claimed: 'For those Oasis fans who are at Heaton Park tonight. Thanks. 'You've parked your cars on private land and taken my parking space. There's cans, bottles and other rubbish left on my doorstep. 'When I left earlier tonight, there was four of you taking a p*** up the side of my building despite four portaloos literally just across the road. Approaching my flat, the place smelled like p***.' While some locals may relish being able to hear the band's vocals after the mad scramble to obtain coveted tickets for the shows, this person remained thoroughly unimpressed. They continued: 'The weather is so hot so our windows are open. The music is so loud, despite being a kilometre away, that we can't hear the TV. 'Parklife wasn't this bad. Absolutely f***ing shameful display.' In the comments section, people shared their thoughts. One person advised: 'If you contact the community impact team they will arrange a clean up crew to attend your premises, there are council staff on the streets'. Another said: 'Can't say I'm surprised', while a third joked: 'Just don't look back in anger.' A fourth, who also lives near Heaton Park, offered their perspective: 'I live pretty much across the road from the park and (so far) this has been so much less disruptive than Parklife. 'Chances are it's not every Oasis fan, but with 80k people there's bound to be the odd tosser here [and] there.' In a follow up comment, the original poster added: 'I posted mostly for fun and fair play to the posters here, most of them have been hilarious. There are absolutely far more serious issues to get upset at.' The Community Impact Team "manage and mitigate the impact of major events held at Manchester City Council's Heaton Park". Those who experience issues can contact them by completing the online form, calling, 0161 883 1962 (on event days 2pm to 12.30am or leaving a message requesting a callback), or by visiting the Maccabi Community and Sports Centre (4pm to 9pm on event days).

"These are incredible, now available at Lindt store." Why are products axed or recipes changed? ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders. Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether. They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers. There are several reasons why this could be done. For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes. Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs. They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable. For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018. It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version. Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year. Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks. While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose
