Based in the seaside county of Devon, UK, Two Drifters is a brand born out of a love for rum and a desire to share and enjoy it without harming the planet.
Founded by Gemma and Russ Wakeman, their passion for rum started from their first date and continued into their married life. The name Two Drifters came to Gemma on their wedding day; the couple walked down the aisle to Moon River, and she was struck by the Johnny Mercer lyric âTwo drifters, off to see the world.â Russâs academic chemistry career also focused on carbon capture, storage, and utilization, removing CO2 from the air and reusing or storing it, and inspired a desire to produce the spirit in the least environmentally impactful way possible.
