Puerto Rico: The Coca‑Cola Company and Bacardi Limited announce a new RDT drink

Bacardi Limited and Coca‑Cola companies announced an agreement to launch Bacardi and Coca‑Cola rum as a premixed ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail. The new RTD drink will be available in several markets around the world, with the initial launch planned for European markets and Mexico in 2025.

“We are continuing to develop our portfolio as a total beverage company, including in the growing alcohol ready-to-drink market,” said James Quincey, president and CEO of The Coca‑Cola Company. This is not the first time the two brands have come together. In 1900, the Cuba Libre cocktail was invented using Bacardi Rum, Coca‑Cola and lime at the American Bar in Havana. The global benchmark for alcoholic beverage volume (ABV) is 5%, but it will vary by market.
