Pancake Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday, is a traditional Christian celebration before the period of Lent. This year, Pancake Day will be celebrated on Tuesday March 5 2019.

Traditionally, it is custom to eat sweet pancakes on Pancake Day but as more people are turning towards a vegan diet, you might want to consider replacing the sweet tradition with a tasty savoury, vegan alternative instead.

BACARDÍ Spiced will be available exclusively in Tesco from February 15^th

BACARDÍ®, the world’s most awarded rum, today announces the launch of BACARDÍ Spiced, made with gold rum mellowed in charred American Oak for a hint of smokiness and blended with natural flavours and spices for a bold, yet smooth taste.

The practice of mixing rum with fruit and spices is almost as old as Caribbean rum itself and so it makes perfect sense for BACARDÍ to introduce a spiced blend into its ever-growing portfolio. BACARDÍ Spiced is a versatile drink that can be enjoyed with a classic mixer like cola or poured over ice, both allowing its distinct flavours to shine through.
