Comment:
“‘Amalia’ is the name of the wife of Don Facundo BACARDÍ, and my mother. The ingredients in Amalia reflect the legacy of the people who have influenced my life - each was chosen to represent a memory from those who are important to me. My goal was to create a fresh cocktail with exotic aromas, suitable for both men and women, and that appeals to people from all backgrounds.”
