We continue our National Rum Day by raising our rum with BACARDÍ, the world’s most awarded rum brand. When it comes to having a selection of rums, you absolutely cannot go wrong with the BACARDÍ’s vast rum offerings. Whether you celebrate the day with a cocktail crafted from one of their premium rums or enjoy one of their ready-to-drink canned cocktails, they make it easy to raise your rum on National Rum Day and for the entirety of National Rum Month. A year ago exactly to the day, we highlighted some wonderful rum cocktails from the rum brand, and we’re back to share some more.
For those looking for the quickest way to enjoy rum cocktails, the BACARDÍ Real Rum canned cocktails are a must. What better way to enjoy the summer and the month dedicated to celebrating rum than with a ready-to-drink rum cocktail! The Real Rum canned cocktails are made with BACARDÍ Superior Rum, all-natural flavors, real ingredients, are gluten-free, with no artificial sweeteners. The always refreshing, fun, and full-flavored canned cocktails are consistently high quality and boast a 5.9% ABV. They are available in six flavors including:
- Rum Punch – A Caribbean sunset in a can, offering a unique blend of naturally fresh pineapple, sweet orange, and ripe mango flavor with a hint of passionfruit.
- Bahama Mama – A tropical vacation in a can, with a blend of exotic fruit flavors and hints of orange, red berries, and pineapple.
- Mojito – A classic rum cocktail that combines the sweetness of the Caribbean with fresh lime, revitalizing mint flavor, and sparkling soda water.
