With spring officially beginning next week, we're already in the mood for refreshing cocktails and with the news that Bacardi has launched a brand-new spiced rum flavour, we're now even more excited for the warmer months ahead.

Bacardi's new flavour is the brand's first ever premium aged rum, Caribbean Spiced, that combines the unique sweetness and floral notes of coconut blossom and juicy pineapple with cinnamon, vanilla, and the subtle oaky char from the barrel the rum is aged in.

Cocktail lovers can expect to be delighted with notes of caramelised pineapple and lightly toasted coconut – a feast for the palate that will transport you to the tropics with every single sip.

With versatility at its core, Caribbean Spiced is made for mixing, but is equally delicious sipped neat over ice. Whether it’s elevating a refreshing rum and cola, adding a twist to a classic with a zesty Coco Daiquiri or shaken up in a Caribbean Colada - rich with the flavours of cinnamon and pineapple, it's set to bring the sunshine to any occasion and will be a hit with friends and family.

Bacardi has shared the recipe for their Caribbean Colada and we can't wait to make it.
