CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN BACARDÍ STYLE
Getting set to celebrate the spookiest night of the year? Do it with creativity and flair to make this Halloween your freakiest yet. This is a chance to express yourself and unleash your wild side – with uncannily unexpected costumes, scarily stand-out makeup and ghoulishly inventive cocktails.
Dress to impress yourself
When Halloween rolls around, there are no rules. If you feel called to follow tradition and dress as a witch, ghost or iconic character from a horror movie, by all means embrace it. But above all, this is a moment to do what thrills you and flip the scary script. So dress in drag, arrive at the party as your all-time hero, or cover every inch of your body in glitter. Whatever uplifts your spirit.
“This is a moment to do what thrills you and flip the scary script.”
Create freaky cocktails
Express yourself through the cocktails you serve up, whether you’re hosting a Halloween house party or rocking up to another event armed with an eerie array of ingredients. This Halloween, you’ll have another chance to get your claws on our BACARDÍ Limited Edition Halloween bottles. Keep your eyeballs peeled for them.
So, what cocktails could you conjure up? A simple yet seriously creepy option is to team your BACARDÍ with blood orange soda and plenty of crushed ice.
