Game. Set. Rum. Jimmy Butler & BACARDÍ Bring Big Energy to BIGFACE’s Domino Club in Miami
What do you get when you mix espresso, aged rum, celebrity athletes, and a splash of Miami swagger? The answer played out in real time yesterday at BIGFACE Coffee in the Miami Design District, where BACARDÍ Rum and BIGFACE once again teamed up to launch their Rum Room Domino Club—this time with Jimmy Butler himself leading the charge.
In a surprise twist just before the Miami Heat’s face-off with the Golden State Warriors, Butler made a hometown cameo that had Miami buzzing. The six-time NBA All-Star wasn’t just there to sip and spectate—he was hands-on, hosting guests, pouring drinks, and throwing down in several heated domino matches with none other than Warriors teammates Draymond Green and Kevon Looney. The crossover event was equal parts Caribbean cool and courtside cool-down, delivering a collision of Miami culture, sport, and seriously smooth cocktails.
Brewing Culture: BIGFACE Coffee Meets BACARDÍ Heritage
The event spotlighted the Café Con Ocho, a standout signature cocktail crafted with BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho, BIGFACE Coffee’s El Porvenir Espresso, and a splash of salted caramel syrup—a drink as indulgent as it is energizing. Poured over ice and served with swagger, it proved the ideal companion for a high-stakes round of dominoes.
And if the drinks didn’t turn heads, the BACARDÍ x BIGFACE Coffee Rum Room Domino Club jackets did. When Draymond Green left the gathering with one draped over his shoulder, it was clear the limited-edition piece had become the must-have souvenir of the event. Guests also snagged co-branded t-shirts while the vibe remained high courtesy of a vinyl DJ set by DJ Safe Stadick, spinning tracks that matched the energy on the table.
Courtside Cameos and Cultural Touchstones
Jimmy Butler was undeniably in his element—part host, part hype man, and 100% Miami. The BIGFACE Coffee founder played into the moment with a dash of humor: a plaque by the register cheekily read, “Employed By The Golden State Warriors? Your coffee = $30,” a playful jab at his visiting rivals and a wink to the BIGFACE brand’s irreverent ethos.
As dominoes clacked and espresso flowed, the event felt less like a marketing moment and more like a celebration of community, culture, and craftsmanship. It was Butler doing what he does best—connecting with fans, supporting his brand, and elevating every experience with unmistakable authenticity.
A Toast to Miami—And What’s Next
Events like this one at BIGFACE show that Miami’s luxury lifestyle is also defined by its intimate, high-style collisions of sport, flavor, and personality. The BACARDÍ x BIGFACE Coffee partnership continues to bridge worlds—blending the warm traditions of Caribbean rum, the artisanal rise of third-wave coffee, and the magnetic pull of celebrity-led experiences.
Jimmy Butler may be preparing for another high-stakes game, but yesterday, it was all about the domino table, the Café Con Ocho, and the city that made him a local legend. With partnerships like this, he’s not just playing in Miami—he’s shaping it.
