Meet Two Drifters Distillery... world's first carbon negative rum brand and the Seeing Green Solutionist of the Day for September 20.
In this Spotlight series episode of Seeing Green: Solutions for Our Daily Lives, we look at the spirits industry — beloved for celebration and connection, but also one with a heavy environmental footprint from farming, distilling, packaging, and shipping.
Enter Two Drifters, a distillery founded in Exeter, UK, by Russ and Gemma Wakeham. Their adventurous brand name comes from Moon River, and their rums — from Pure White to Spiced Pineapple Overproof — bring flavor, character, and purpose to every pour. Beyond great taste, they’ve committed to bold sustainability: running on 100% renewable energy, using lightweight bottles and compostable seals, and partnering with Climeworks and Carbfix to remove unavoidable emissions. By publishing third-party verified LCAs and EPDs, they’re showing that transparency and climate-positive action can redefine what it means to raise a glass. Two Drifters proves that sustainability isn’t just a garnish — it’s the spirit of the future.
Please drink responsibly.
