History

Originally based on Bacardi Carta Blanca rum, this was the Hungarian Bacardí Legacy 2016 winning cocktail, created by Norbert Schök at the Four Seasons Gresham Palace in Kollázs, Budapest.

Travelling is part of the history of the Bacardí family, part of the golden age of Cuban cocktails and it was my main motivation to start bartending. Another traveller, the coconut, can travel across seas and oceans to settle down in a new land. A traveller - El Viajero - not only moves from A to B, but learns and explores new things, meeting old and making new friends and widening his horizons.

Norbert Schök, 2016

Review

Rum, coconut water and Pedro Ximénez sherry are unusual bedfellows in a cocktail but work well together and are toned by lime juice and chocolate bitters.

Subtle. That's not why I drink cocktails but if you're into subtle cocktails, this is one.

Instead of the coconut water, we go with 10ml coconut rum liqueur. And serve it in a Nick and Nora glass. A beautifully delicate cocktail.

Having found some coconut water we went around again. With the coconut water it's even more beautifully delicate and subtle.

The coconut water lengthens it into a very sippable drink. Worth trying.
