History
This aged rum maple daiquiri features subtle blackcurrant and anise notes.
This cocktail, created in 2019 by George Hunter, won the South African final of Bacardi's Legacy bartender's competition, advancing him and his drink to the global final. George developed his recipe in Johannesburg, South Africa, where Bacardi Ocho is 43% alc./vol. The recipe provided has been adjusted for the 40% alc./vol. Bacardi Ocho found in Europe. George's original recipe was: Cazador 60ml Bacardi Ocho 30ml Fresh lime 15ml Maple syrup 10ml Crème de cassis Absinthe rinse George explained, "Cazador is my surname in Spanish (Hunter). The cocktail has been created to represent triumph and lessons learnt. Cazador is a symbol to remind people to never give up, to push through the hard times. I started my career as a bar back on minimum wage, I worked hard every single day to learn more and grow as a bartender. The first time I entered Bacardi Legacy, I didn't even make it out the first round. Six years later [2019] I entered again & won the national event in South Africa and get to represent my country on the global stage."
