“THE OFFICE/THE MICHAEL SCOTT and SKINNY MOJITO” – The crunchy and delicious Mojito perfectly embodies the refreshing and cheerful spirit of Michael Scott, resident Britney of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. Named after the man with a plan for every mood and occasion (but in a much more real sense, one that doesn’t require a special occasion to enjoy), the Skinny Mojito is the perfect companion for your next Office recap!
Ingredients:
50ML BACARDÍ CARTA BLANCA
HALF A LIME CUT INTO WEDGES
8 MINT LEAVES
TOP WITH CLUB SODA
Preparation: Pour the white rum, lime juice and mint into a highball glass. Squeeze mint with a bar spoon to release oil, then add crushed ice, almost to the top, and churn. Finish with a splash of club soda and add more crushed ice. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a wedge of lime.
“The SUITS and JAPANESE HIGHBALL” – As the smart, stylish and sophisticated drink of the year, the Japanese Highball is a whiskey cocktail that would fit perfectly into the high-stakes legal world. To take. Made with DEWAR’s unique new Japanese Smooth Scotch whiskey, the drink is a classy creation worthy of a place on Harvey Spectre’s bar shelf. With a smooth texture that accentuates the flavors, it’s definitely what Harvey would do to make this your new signature whiskey cocktail.
Ingredients:
60 ML DEWAR’S JAPANESE SMOOTH SCOTCH WHISKEY
40 ML SODA WATER
LEMON TWIST

“FRIENDS and WINTERPUNCH” – As an evergreen sitcom, Friends is the perfect blend of characters and personalities to make us all fall in love with the beauty of everyday joys and adventures. From Rachel’s sass to Joey’s carefree calm, each character brings a unique vibe to the show to make it special – a quality that also comes to life in the fruity flavors of the Asian Winter Punch cocktail, created by the unusual combination of lemongrass, ginger ale and cinnamon into a pleasant cocktail that you will love “Oh my God!”.

200 ML BACARDÍ CARTA BLANCA
250 ML POMEGRANATE JUICE
500 ML INVOLVED APPLE JUICE
CUT LEMON GRASS
CINNAMON POWDER

“MODERN FAMILY” and “FROZEN STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI” – As perhaps the most iconic sitcom of the 2010s, Modern Family is a modern classic (pun unintentional). And the reason we can’t get enough of the heartwarming characters of the Dunphy and Pritchett families is because they tend to bring out the best in each other, even in the toughest of times. For us, this bond is best expressed in the chilled Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri. With the sourness of the strawberry accentuating the sweeter taste of the rum, the cocktail comes together in a medley of flavors sure to sweeten your next iteration of the show. A drink with a story worth adding to your own list of philosophical topics.

50 ML BACARDÍ CARTA BLANCA
25 ML LIME JUICE
25 ML SIMPLE SYRUP
4 SLICED STRAWBERRIES
1 CUP CRUSHED ICE

“SCHITT’S CREEK” and “FESTIVE BUBBLES” – This drink with premium BACARDÍ Rum and Prosecco is much more than ‘a little bit Alexis’. Showing off the bubbly character of the youngest member of the Rose family from Schitt’s Creek, it’s a drink for parties and special occasions, or when you need to be ‘a little extra’, as Alexis would say.

30 ML BACARDÍ RESERVA ANEJO CUATRO
