Now you’re good to go. Below are our favorite BACARDÍ picks alongside some tasty serving suggestions for the easiest cocktails to make at home.
With these on hand, you’ll always be ready for when friends come over and you can impress them with your new bar skills and delicious drinks.

BACARDÍ SPICED
A new addition to the BACARDÍ family and a must have in your home bar is BACARDÍ Spiced. Made with aged rum and a hint of smokiness from American oak barrels, it brings a caramel flavor to the palate which mixes perfectly with cola. Another option is to try it with ginger ale for that little twist. A delicious treat for summer days, but also great for a bit of winter warmth.
