History

When I discovered this cocktail back in 2001 at Hotel du Vin in Bristol, England, it was made with house-infused vanilla rum and unflavoured sugar syrup. It was a great cocktail that led me to hero cocktails using the acidity of white wine in place of citrus.

Review

This beautifully balanced cocktail combines the strength of rum with the tartness of wine and the richness of pineapple and vanilla.

A truly stunning discovery! I love the idea of letting the white wine provide the brightness and acidity instead of citrus. Elegant, original, and beautifully balanced.
