Ahead of this spooky weekend, BACARDÍ and Pinterest have launched a co-branded Halloween trend campaign. In a first for BACARDÍ, the rum brand will inspire Pinterest users with the most chillingly delicious Halloween cocktail ideas perfect for any horror-filled shindig, with the official Pinterest stamp of approval – the Trend Badge.

Behind every Halloween moment, is the Pinterest board that made it. This campaign is combining expert knowledge of the best rum cocktail recipes from BACARDÍ, with Pinterest’s insight that searches for ‘Halloween cocktail recipes’ are up 75% vs this time last year.

Within “Halloween” searches, Pinterest users have been searching for a wide range of ideas, with “Halloween party drinks” and “spiced rum cocktails” identified as top search terms. These themes will appear across a total of six Pins, both static and video, showcasing the BACARDÍ Limited Edition glow-in-the-dark Halloween bottles and allowing the rum brand to inspire customers with a variety of cocktail ideas using BACARDÍ Spiced and BACARDÍ Carta Blanca. BACARDÍ Spiced is blended with natural flavours and spices for a bold yet smooth taste – the ideal drink to enjoy mixed in cocktails thanks to its versatility.

We’re delighted to partner with BACARDÍ and help them inspire Pinners with the very ideas they are searching for.”
