Get your island vibe on with mojitos, coconut cocktails, steel drum beats and sand—without leaving the mainland

With Toronto island currently shut down, Playa Bacardí has just the solution to get your island fix. Playa Bacardí, a pop-up “beachside” rum bar, kicks off the summer on June 19 with a lineup of delicious rum-based summer cocktails. The pop-up will feature island fare inspired by four Caribbean islands: Cuba, Jamaica, St. Vincent and Trinidad as well as classic cocktails like the mojito and the original Bacardí daiquiri.

“With the island shut down, we’re tapping into Bacardí’s Latin roots and heritage to give Torontonians a taste of island culture and the best of summer rum cocktails,” says Dominic Kreutzner, senior brand Manager of Bacardí Rum.

Besides authentic island eats and cocktails, the rum bar will feature a steel drum band, DJ Flex of All Trades, Latin dancers and a game of island limbo.

Get ready to get tropical. A limited number of tickets are available to the public here http://www.playabacardi.com/
