Bacardi Rum and Miami Heat basketball star Jimmy Butler have announced a second collaboration with the player’s premium coffee brand, Bigface.

Following the success of their first spirits partnership earlier this year, the two are reuniting to bring the Bacardi x Bigface Café Con Ocho cocktail back to Miami.

As an avid domino player, Bacardi said, Mr Butler’s passion for the game perfectly complements the next phase of this collaboration.

Bacardi will continue its popular Rum Room series, teaming up with Bigface Coffee to introduce the Domino Club event series. Select events will feature limited-edition merchandise inspired by Mr Butler’s signature style.

Mr Butler said: “We are excited to collaborate with Bacardi again. Miami is a city that has shown me so much love — the culture, the energy and the rich coffee scene are all part of my daily life.

"I have enjoyed playing dominoes and visiting the parks in Miami’s Little Havana. Like me, Bacardi has a deep connection to this city, and creating the Bacardi x Bigface Café Con Ocho cocktail together with Bigface Coffee has been an incredible experience.“

Lisa Pfenning, VP, Bacardi North America, said: “Jimmy Butler and his Bigface team have been exceptional partners, and this collaboration holds special meaning not only for Bacardi Rum but for the city of Miami.

“Dominoes, especially in Miami, is more than just a game — it’s a beloved tradition that unites people and fosters a sense of community. At Bacardi, we are all about embracing this important aspect of Miami's culture and celebrating.”

Bacardi said the cocktail is a creative twist on the classic espresso martini. It will be available at select Miami restaurants through December 31.

The Bacardi brand is part of the portfolio of Bacardi Ltd, which is headquartered in Bermuda.
