SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SideChef, the all-in-one home cooking platform, announced today it is collaborating with Bacardi, the largest privately held spirits company in the world, to bring curated cocktail content to the SideChef platform. SideChef users will now have access to step-by-step drink recipes developed by Bacardi and designed to make the home mixology experience easier than ever.
