FAQ

WANT TO KNOW MORE?

WHY USE CRUSHED ICE?

Crushed ice works best. You don’t need to blend it for so long which prevents over-dilution.

WHY USE CREAM OF COCONUT?

Always use cream of coconut, not coconut cream. Cream of coconut is sweetened and ideal for making cocktails and desserts. Coconut cream is unsweetened and more suitable for savoury foods like curry.

WHAT IS WHITE RUM?

White rum is usually a light-bodied variant with a soft, sweet taste. It’s often used in light refreshing cocktails, especially favourites, like the Mojito and Daiquiri.

WHERE WAS THE PIÑA COLADA INVENTED?

The Piña Colada hails from San Juan, Puerto Rico, invented by a bartender named Ramón “Monchito” Marrero who used BACARDÍ white rum.

HOW DO YOU MAKE RUM?

Rum is made using only three ingredients: molasses from sugarcane, yeast and water. Ingredients are fermented, then distilled, aged, filtered and blended.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHITE, DARK AND GOLD RUM?

Rum is a wonderfully complex and diverse spirit. Colour can give us clues about time spent aging or the flavours that might be found within. Dark can be bold, sweet (or dry) and even smoky, gold is rich and soothing, and white is smooth, subtle and often refreshing. But colour can be misleading. The best way to truly understand a rum is to taste it for yourself.
