In anticipation of the day of the dead and the month of the mustache, BACARDĺ rum has created cocktails to help you toast a mummy or the man of hour. We recommend trying one or two, but if you’re a Movember contender, that flavor savor can come in handy, storing snacks to help soak up the extra few. Cheers!
