August 16th is National Rum Day. To celebrate, you need to try the Flor De Violette cocktail featuring BACARDÍ Gran Reserva Maestro de Ron.
Rum has come a long way since it was first distilled in the 17th century. Over 400 years later, rum has evolved into one of the most versatile spirits, easily enjoyed on its own or in dynamic cocktails. On August 16th, celebrate National Rum Day with a cocktail that pays tribute to this beloved spirit.
