Rum Punch - Bacardi, lots of exotic fruit and a Barramundi twist

Bacardi Building Havana

In 1830, Facundo Bacardi Masso, a Catalan wine merchant who had migrated to Cuba, discovered that he could refine the somewhat raw rum that was kicking around by filtering it through charcoal to remove impurities and ageing it in oak barrels to ‘smooth’ it out! – Bacardi, an up-market rum, was born.



Bacardi drinks are no longer found in Cuba today as the Bacardi family moved their empire out of Cuba to avoid nationalization. More recently though, this privately owned business has started to make more of a deal of its Cuban heritage – probably as a result of the growing international competition that it’s getting from 'Havana Club' – the increasingly popular Cuban government-owned rum.

Enjoy this lovely rum punch – perfect as the days get longer and warmer!
