Batter Up! Bartenders – BACARDÍ Softball returns

BACARDÍ’s annual Bartender Softball competitions are returning for 2022, touring major cities nationally in coming months.

Founded in the city of Santiago de Cuba in 1862, BACARDÍ revolutionized the spirits industry with their light-bodied rum with a particularly smooth taste. Today, BACARDÍ rum is the world’s most awarded spirit, with more than 900 awards for quality, taste and innovation.

In recognition of BACARDÍ’s heritage, the annual Bartender Softball competitions pay homage to the first BACARDÍ distillery workers in Santiago de Cuba, who finished their shifts with a game of baseball.

Returning for its seventh year, BACARDÍ Softball is excited to bring Australia’s best bartenders together again for some friendly rivalry on the field. In celebrating the tradition and team culture ingrained within the BACARDÍ brand, bartenders are invited to get around their fellow industry mates for a fun day out on the pitch followed by delicious BACARDÍ cocktails, including the crowd-favourite Mai Tai and the new BACARDÍ Mojito RTDs.

ABOUT BACARDÍ

In 1862, in the city of Santiago de Cuba, founder Don Facundo Bacardí Massó revolutionized the spirits industry when he created a light-bodied rum with a particularly smooth taste – BACARDÍ. The unique taste of BACARDÍ rum inspired cocktail pioneers to invent some of the world’s most famous recipes including the BACARDÍ Mojito, the BACARDÍ Daiquiri, the BACARDÍ Cuba Libre, the BACARDÍ Piña Colada and the BACARDÍ El Presidente. BACARDÍ rum is the world’s most awarded spirit, with more than 900 awards for quality, taste and innovation. Today, BACARDÍ rum is made mainly in Puerto Rico where it is crafted to ensure the taste remains the same today as it did when it was first blended in 1862. Discover more at www.BACARDÍ.com.

The BACARDÍ brand is part of the portfolio of Bacardi Limited, headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda. Bacardi Limited refers to the Bacardi group of companies, including Bacardi International Limited.
