Taking a cue from its Caribbean roots, Bacardi has released Tropical, a new limited-edition flavoured rum just in time for the best days of a US summer.
Boasting notes of juicy pineapple, creamy coconut, and sweet guava, BACARDÍ Tropical is the perfect summer sip, whether at a backyard barbeque with a Piña Colada in hand, or dancing the night away at an outdoor summer concert with a refreshing Mojito.
“At BACARDÍ, we know that flavoured rum is the fastest-growing segment in the category. To give people a delicious new flavoured rum option and get them excited about what is sure to be an unforgettable summer, we created BACARDÍ Tropical,” said Maria Galis, Marketing Director, BACARDÍ for North America.
“It brings the natural fruit flavours of the Caribbean to classic rum cocktails like the Piña Colada, Mojito, or the Tropical Sunset, which is our take on the Hurricane. It is also just as versatile and delicious when mixed with juices or soda for an easy, vacation-worthy sip.”
To ensure you get the most out of the expression, we have three cocktails that will bring the authentic island flavours of summer to your glass.
