History

Spanish Bacardí Legacy 2016 winning cocktail created by Angel Arruñada at Sol Y Mar Café in Fuengirola.

For my Legacy cocktail, I was inspired by two classic cocktails: the Mai Tai and the Dark and Stormy. My drink honours the first generation of the family Bacardí: Don Facundo Bacardí Massó and sons (Emilio, Facundo and Jose). The roots of the untamable spirit.

Angel Arruñada, 2016

Genever adds its own complexity to this version of the classic Holland House. The sugar syrup is my 'optional' addition, but for me it's essential.

While gin might lead this Negroni, port wine rounds and sets it apart from less noble Negronis.
