Review:

Reminiscent of a well-known coconut rum liqueur but very much drier and more complex with lime adding sourness and bitters playing a crucial role.

This is a very unique and flavourful cocktail. Everything works harmoniously together. Prosecco adds another dimention.

Unusually, especially with sparkling wine, this cocktail is thrown from tin to tin - a much gentler form of mixing than shaking. Please type "throw" in the search bar above for our "How to throw a cocktail" page which explains all.
