The spirits brand BACARDÍ Rum and the coffee company BIGFACE, which was founded by athlete Jimmy Butler, have announced a third collaborative project, centering on the expansion of their experiential 'Rum Room Domino Club' pop-up event to San Francisco.
The dynamic BACARDÍ x BIGFACE 'Rum Room Domino Club' activation is " anchored by one of Jimmy Butler's favorite pastimes: dominoes." The event, which will take place on Thursday, January 29, will host guests within a "vibrant space inspired by the brand's Caribbean roots and Latin heritage." Individuals will have the opportunity to sip on the fan-favorite BACARDÍ x BIGFACE Café Con Ocho, a signature cocktail that blends "the smooth, layered notes of BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho with BIGFACE Doublestar Omni Blend."
In addition to the experiential activation, the collaborators are also launching a special, co-branded apparel line.
