The current bar programme features 11 rum cocktails designed to showcase the sheer spectrum of rums, from light white in the form of the Chiquita (white rum, banana liqueur, lillet blanc, and prosecco) to darker spirits as in the La Bamba (Plantation dark rum, Remy Martin VSOP, maple syrup and tobacco bitters, smoked with apple wood chips). Tropical flavours abound in the form of drinks such as Loco For Coco, served in a coconut shell and mixing Matusalem Solera rum, coconut rum, coconut tea, Maraschino liqueur, lime juice and bitters. If you’re not drinking rum (though, we’d question why you’d be at The Daily Tot in the first place) there are also four non-rum cocktails as well as mocktails.

The pride and joy of the venue is the rum bible, naturally, as Ludhani would love for drinkers to enjoy the spirit in its purest form, just like a proper sailor. Indeed, the name of the bar doffs its cap to the daily rum ration given at noontime to royal navy sailors from 1850 up until 31 July 1970, when it was abolished due to—what else—health and safety concerns. That day henceforth became known as Black Tot Day, which inspired the name of Black Tot Rum—one of the world’s most well regarded rum brands—that, in Hong Kong, exclusively available at The Daily Tot. The collection also includes rhum agricoles (i.e. made from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses) from Martinique and Don Papa rum from The Philippines; the list is conveniently divided by regions (from Barbados to Venezuela). In true Havana fashion, cigars can also be enjoyed on the terrace.
