Full color 9 3/4" x 13" ad that is advertising Bacardi Light, Dry Rum. This is very much of a holiday related ad since the headline in this ad says there is "Now a brand-new easy way to make a perfect Bacardi Eggnog".

No. 3 says that: Now the secret that will get real raves from your guests is to mix in half a pint of whipped cream, and then chill in your refrigerator to blend the ingredients. No. 4 says: Top individual servings with a light sprinkling of nutmeg and serve. Traditional, jolly and delicious. Serves 4 people three times.

He named it after the place where he got the thirst - the Daiquiri Mines! Times have changed, and now Daiquiris come in assorted sizes and shapes. But three things stay the same: (1) the original Daiquiri was made with Bacardi, (2) the best still are and (3) people still quench thirst with their frosty smoothness. Buy some Light Bacardi and do a little thirst quenching yourself! (The recipe's on the back label.)" |
