Lugo's Craft Distillery - Florida Drinkeries

Nestled in the heart of Lakeland, Florida, Lugo’s Craft Distillery is a family-owned treasure that’s been delighting rum lovers since its bold debut in 2020. This isn’t just a distillery—it’s a passion-fueled production hub with a vibrant Event and Tasting Room and a welcoming front bar, perfect for mingling over expertly crafted cocktails. If you’re a fan of an Old Fashioned, prepare to be wowed by their Fire and Oak Old Fashioned, made with the robust, 94-proof Risky Single Barrel Rum—a sip worth savoring.

Lugo’s specializes in four distinct rum lines, each crafted with natural fruit infusions for an organic, gluten-free experience that’s as pure as it is flavorful:

Pitorro Rums: Bright, versatile clear rums available in Original, Coconut, Citrus, and Café varieties—perfect for any occasion.
Riskey Rums: Sweet, bourbon-inspired rums distilled in charred American white oak barrels, offering a whiskey-style depth with a two-year aging process that rivals a five-year whiskey.
Libertalia Rum: Spiced rums infused with real fruits and spices, free of artificial colors or flavors, delivering a bold, authentic taste.
Coquito: A festive Puerto Rican coconut rum cocktail, available in rotating flavors like Original, Pumpkin Spice, Pistachio, Nutella, and Strawberry—each a seasonal delight.

Lugo’s story is as rich as their spirits. Born from a Puerto Rican family tradition of rum-making, they honed their craft further in Kentucky, blending island heritage with American whiskey finesse to create their signature distillation methods. Launched during the 2020 pandemic, they kicked things off by donating hand sanitizer to local governments—a testament to their community spirit. Every bottle is a labor of love, hand-labeled with batch and bottle numbers, making each one a unique keepsake.

Visit Lugo’s Craft Distillery for an unforgettable tasting experience, a craft cocktail, or simply to soak in the warmth of a family legacy poured into every glass. This is rum reimagined—bold, authentic, and undeniably delicious.
