Review:

I had to boil a can of condensed milk for three hours to make the dulce de leche but its sweetened caramelised milk flavour is the heart of this unusual cocktail. Rum fortifies with banana, PX sherry and lemon all adding important elements.

History:

The Norwegian Bacardí Legacy 2016 winning cocktail created by Moe Aliaff, a freelance bartender in Oslo. Moe says, "The Carousel cocktail is a reinterpretation of a childhood visit to the carnival, a happy time in any child's life! This particular visit was in a time of distress and it signified the beginning of something new, a second chance."

A delicious dessert! I understand that the inventor was stuck with Bacardi because it works even better with a white agricultural rum. I have to try again with a dark rum or an older rum.
