Bacardi Launches Rock Coconut Infused Rum

Filed under: Spirits

Coconut rum is nothing new. Bacardi themselves have been making it for ages, after all, never mind the competition. But this isn't regular coconut rum. It's Bacardi Rock Coconut.

Marketing jargon? Hardly. What sets Bacardi Rock Coconut apart is the combination of coconut juice with rock melon, a fruit indigenous to India and Africa. The combination of the two flavors, according to Bacardi, gives the new Rock Coconut rum a crisp, smooth taste.

Mix it with coke or pineapple juice for an especially zesty cocktail, or try Barcardi's iPhone app for other mixing suggestions.

The new addition joins the expanding range of Bacardi flavors including razz, peach red, grand melon, big apple, torched cherry, dragon berry and of course the existing coconut flavor. Suggested retail price comes in under $14 for a 750 ml bottle, also available in 50, 200 and 275 ml bottles as well as 1 and 1.75-liter sizes.

Mendis is introducing the world's first ultra-premium coconut brandy, and they're not shy about making a big deal about it. Mendis coconut brandy is an all-natural, clear brandy with delicate tones of coconut, vanilla, and chocolate and a "velvety sweet texture." It's recommended neat or on the rocks, but can also be enjoyed mixed.

The very first bottle of this very first coconut brandy is going up for sale in August for $1 million dollars. So if you're the type to collect "firsts," or really love coconut flavored drinks, or just happened to have an extra million or so burning a hole in your pocket, then you might want to hurry and buy that first fancy bottle as it rolls off the product line (well, I'm sure it doesn't actually roll, do you think?) before somebody else does. Or if you're like me, and even if you had it really wouldn't spend that kinda money on a single bottle of anything, you can enter to win the second bottle for free -- along with a luxury trip to go pick it up and personal security to help you hold on to your pricey little prize.

So how much do you think it would go for on eBay?
