History

Spanish Bacardí Legacy 2016 winning cocktail created by Angel Arruñada at Sol Y Mar Café in Fuengirola.

For my Legacy cocktail, I was inspired by two classic cocktails: the Mai Tai and the Dark and Stormy. My drink honours the first generation of the family Bacardí: Don Facundo Bacardí Massó and sons (Emilio, Facundo and Jose). The roots of the untamable spirit.

Angel Arruñada, 2016

Review
