Review:

“I wanted to make a drink that is very easy to reproduce around the world and equally easy to like; I also wanted to make something inspired by the rich history of BACARDÍ.

With all the challenges and new chapters BACARDÍ has faced, the expression ‘turning over a new leaf’ fits very well. One of the latest ’new leaves’ for BACARDÍ is their acquisition of ‘St Germain’, which is why I wanted to incorporate it into my drink. Oregano leaves tie it all together; name, drink, history and creativity: Turning Leaves.”
