History

The original four equal parts recipe is considered a tad sour; trimming back the citrus and adding a few drops of saline helps. As with many Daiquiri-style cocktails, a splash of dilution is recommended.

Sim Sze Wei, at Atlas Bar, won the Singaporean Bacardí Legacy 2018 competition with this cocktail. It was originally made using Bacardi Ocho Anos and Carta Blanca rums. Golden Eight was inspired by the hardships and challenges of the creator's journey as a bartender, and the untameable spirit of BACARDÍ rum. The creator is pursuing their belief with passion and determination, innovating a new category of rum cocktail with no homemade ingredients.
