The produce of the French mainland meet that of a French Caribbean island in this delicious brandy and rum-laced orange cocktail.

Review

Créole shrubb replaces orange curaçao in this riff on the classic, equal parts, Olympic cocktail which was named after the RMS Olympic, an Olympic-class ocean liner and sister ship to the ill-fated Titanic and Britannic.

Perfect. Like drinking a less sweet version of Grand Marnier with the cognac and orange flavour. Really like using Creole Shrubb as it add a hint of the Caribbean and a touch of raw cocoa. Refreshing and easy to drink
