Bacardi white rum is one of the most common cocktail ingredients. It was created in 1862 in Cuba by the founder of the current alcohol empire Bacardi.

Bacardi’s history is superior
The cane spirit intended for the drink is subjected to a special carbon filtration, and then aged for about a year and a half in special hand-made barrels made of white American oak.
After that, the resulting product, in order to restore its transparency, is again filtered through coal powder and diluted with water to a strength of 40 degrees (in America) or 37,5 (in Europe).
Thanks to the use of the aforementioned technology, the taste of Bacardi Superior becomes quite mild and, so to speak, civilized.
In addition, the drink acquires a characteristic harmonious aroma, in which shades of vanilla, tropical fruits and almonds are guessed.
How to drink Bacardi Superior
In addition, the rum we are interested in can be used with the same success in preparing simple mixes.
In this case, it is mixed with a variety of soft drinks: soda water, cola, fruit and berry juices, or even coconut milk.
Although, alcoholic options are also possible. For this purpose, it is worth using vermouth or sweet liquors.
When preparing a mix, it is important to remember the proportions
Usually, one share of rum accounts for two parts of the second component.
But if you prefer medium-strength drinks, you can safely be guided by the 50/50 formula.
In principle, chilled white rum can also be used as an aperitif.
Snack under bacardi superior
An excellent light snack for a rum aperitif will be canapes with caviar, seafood or low-fat cold cuts.
Also, do not give up cheese and unsweetened fruits.
Well, if you crave a real pirate chic, then you can’t do without orange slices sprinkled with ground cinnamon.
Bacardi reserve superior 8 years
In no case should you confuse Bacardi Superior rum with a drink from the same company – Bacardi Reserve Superior 8 years. The latter is an extra-class rum.
The cane spirits present in this filigree blend have an aging period of eight to twelve years.
Accordingly, this elite drink should not even stand next to a cocktail tray. Only in naturel, only in the form of a digestif and only with Cuban cigars.
Light rum from Bacardi, in the first place, is used to make numerous cocktails. Typically aged in a tropical style, they are meant to evoke memories of a vacation spent in the sunny Caribbean (or at least create pleasant dreams of such a pastime).
