Puerto Rico’s oldest rum producer, Ron del Barrilito, has launched a collection of craft cocktails inspired by Bad Bunny, coinciding with his much-anticipated summer residency in San Juan. As the artist embarks on his sold-out concert series, these cocktails reflect the spirit of the island and Bad Bunny’s lyrical themes.
One of the standout drinks is the "Café Con Ron" Barrilito Espresso Rumtini, which combines Ron del Barrilito Three Stars with Puerto Rican espresso and coffee liqueur. This innovative twist on the classic espresso martini embodies the flavor and culture that Bad Bunny often expresses in his music.
In addition to the Espresso Rumtini, Ron del Barrilito has created a range of other cocktails, including a unique take on the classic piña colada and an island-inspired Old Fashioned. The drinks will be available at various bars throughout San Juan, including popular spots in Old San Juan and several locations in Condado and Santurce.
For those unable to attend Bad Bunny’s concerts, Ron del Barrilito encourages fans to join in on the celebration by sharing their take on the cocktail recipes.
