Sum up the season in one word. We’ll start: Busy.

With work in the office, fall weddings and oh-so-many holidays in front of us, you could say the end of 2022 has been (and will be) more hectic and action-packed than we’ve grown accustomed to in the past three years.

The question is, can you carve out time to actually enjoy the holidays and spend time with your favorite people? The answer is a resounding, “YES!" It’s time for a sipcation.

Right now, you’re probably asking yourself, “What exactly is a sipcation?” Our Time Out dictionary defines it as such: Sipcation (n.) An experience that allows you to savor a BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho dark rum beverage, especially—but not exclusively—over the holidays; a moment to catch up with family and friends over the sipping of the perfect BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho dark rum cocktail.

Much like drinking BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho, a sipcation is meant to be savored for maximum enjoyment. As Time Out readers know, the same can be said about how we spend our precious free moments in the cities we call home. It’s all about the choices we make, but always using the perfect ingredients. There’s no one-glass-fits-all approach to the perfect sipcation, though. In the spirit of the activity, here are three bevvy-inspired ideas to help you navigate the sipcation mode that’s perfect for you.

What’s your sipcation style?

While we stand behind the perfect sipcation to bring you to your luxurious, warm and cozy or tropical place, we also know that there are other ways to enjoy the vibe that best suits you. There are restaurants, bars and things to do in every city that complement your sipcation vibe. What’s that you say? You’re not sure which vibe is best for you? Well, we here at Time Out are ready to help you with that. By answering a series of questions, you’ll discover if your vibe is warm and cozy, tropical or just simply fabulous. Of course, these results will only help you if you live in, are visiting or just know New York City, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, Houston, San Diego or San Francisco like the back of your hand. If not, here’s another reason to visit!

BACARDÍ Ocho Rum Rooms

If you live in or you’re visiting NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Miami and San Francisco, you’ll have an opportunity to experience sipping at its absolute finest. The BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho Rum Rooms will be artist-led and offer tastings to help you identify your perfect sipcation.
