Presenting the same refreshing taste as the original, the BACARDI Classic
Cocktail Raspberry Mojito is made with BACARDI(R) Superior Rum, natural lime
and mint flavors and an extra burst of ripened raspberries. Now you can enjoy
a deliciously flavored variation of one of our most legendary cocktails -- the
Original BACARDI Mojito -- in a convenient pour and drink design.

"Expanding on the success of the BACARDI Classic Cocktail Mojito RTD
introduced last year, the new raspberry flavored variety is the perfect
addition to the brand's ready-to-drink portfolio," said Gordon Chisholm, brand
director, BACARDI Flavored Rums. "After the original mint and lime mojito, the
raspberry mojito is one of the most popular mojitos requested at bars and
nightclubs, so offering a convenient, ready-to-serve raspberry mojito for home
entertaining was a natural extension for the brand."

The BACARDI Classic Cocktail Raspberry Mojito package features a distinctive
translucent bottle and a sleek, sophisticated design. The 15-percent
alcohol-by-volume (30 proof) ready-to-drink cocktail is available in a 750-ml
size as well as a 1.75-liter. It has a suggested retail price of $12.99 and
$19.99.

In 1862 BACARDI revolutionized the spirits industry when founder Don Facundo
Bacardi began producing BACARDI Rum, the world's first light bodied rum, in
the city of Santiago de Cuba. Today, BACARDI Rum is produced in Puerto Rico,
following the production legacy set forth by Don Facundo -- crafted in a five
step distillation process, mellowed in American white oak barrels, and
filtered five times for unparalleled quality and smoothness.

The BACARDI Classic Cocktail Raspberry Mojito offers a new and flavorful way
to experience the mojito, while still remaining true to the brand heritage
that dates back to the 1800's, when BACARDI rum was first used to make the
mojito. For more information, please visit www.BACARDI.com.
