About the Bacardi

The Bacardi is a sour cocktail with a rum base. Its ingredients create a balanced sweet and tart profile with a distinctive red color. It is typically served as a pre-dinner drink.

History

Originally similar to the daiquiri with rum, lime juice and sugar, the grenadine version originated in the US. The original non-red recipe came from Cuba. A 1936 New York ruling specified that only drinks with Bacardi rum could be called Bacardi cocktails.
