A variation of the Bacardi Daiquirí is the Bacardi Cocktail which was also the subject of a 1936 court ruling that not only protects the Bacardi name, but ensures you as a consumer are entitled to receive exactly what you order when you walk up to a bar.
At the time of the court ruling a restaurant owner was selling ‘Bacardi Cocktails’ without using Bacardi Rum. Bacardi was just as highly regarded a brand then as it is now. Protecting the family name and business was and still is a matter of honor and pride. When you think about it, it is also protecting the consumer. When we order Bacardi at a bar, we want Bacardi in our glass and not just whatever the owner or bartender feel like pouring. The same may be said for any other brand whether it be vodka, whiskey, tequila or cognac. Bacardi paved the way for the protection of all brands with this court ruling.
Today, Bacardi Rums continue unchallenged as the only spirit which is truly ‘The Mixable One.’
