History:

Mexican Bacardí Legacy 2013 winning cocktail created by Michael Rousseau at Four Seasons in Mexico City, Mexico.

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.

Michael Rousseau, 2013
