A dream job opportunity has arisen for rum lovers at a popular Newcastle cocktail bar.
Revolución de Cuba is offering a Rum Residency, giving one successful applicant the chance to get paid for drinking rum. The Havana-inspired cocktail bar group, which has 18 sites across the UK including in Newcastle city centre , will give the lucky recruit £1,000 to try and critique the range of rum cocktails that they have to offer.
The brand is on the hunt for someone with a real passion for rum and ‘barrels of enthusiasm’ to take on the job. The role will involve joining Revolución de Cuba’s expert team for a day of rum sampling, as well as being included in their cocktail development session to help create future cocktails for the menu.

Creating a TikTok video, Instagram Reel or blog article on their favourite three rums or rum cocktails will also be part of the job. As an extra perk, the winning applicant will additionally have the chance to attend complimentary rum tastings with friends over the next 12 months, complete with tasty street food.
The opportunity comes as Revolución de Cuba launches a new menu featuring Latin-inspired cocktails, including the new Mango Passion Spritz and Miami Vice which are both made with Bacardi Cuatro rum. The bar is also launching new Rum Masterclasses in September, which the new Rum Resident will have the chance to try out.
Kat Schofield, brand marketing manager, at Revolución de Cuba, said: “We’re looking for an expert rum tester to join our team, someone who loves and celebrates rum as much as we do. This really is the dream job for rum fans, and the successful applicant will help curate future cocktails, making sure that we remain the high street’s rum paradise.”
There’s still time to apply for the position - but you’ll have to be quick, as the competition closes at midnight tonight, Friday August 26. Email rumresidency@revoluciondecuba.com with your name, date of birth, social media handles and location, tell them your favourite rum and the perfect way to serve it, and share 100 words on why you would be a perfect fit for the role.
